Dorothy Catherine, daughter of Henry and Anna (Olbertz) Zurn, was born on January 28, 1923, in Carroll, Iowa. She attended school in Carroll and graduated from Denison High School. After her schooling, Dorothy worked for Montgomery Ward and Commercial Savings Bank.

On October 3, 1950 Dorothy was united in marriage with Anthony “Tony” C. Venner at St. Lawrence Church in Carroll. Three children were born into this union. Dorothy and Tony rented a farm northwest of Carroll, then in 1956 they bought and moved to their farm northwest of Manning. Dorothy enjoyed quilting and crocheting and she was a member of Sacred Heart Church in Manning.

In 1991 Dorothy and Tony retired and moved to Manning. After Tony passed away in 2002, Dorothy remained at her home until she became a resident of the Manning Plaza in May 2008. In September 2009 she was admitted to Manning Regional Healthcare Center. She died there on Friday, October 2, 2009 at the age of 86 years, 8 months and 4 days.
