She grew up on the family farm northwest of New Hradec and received her education at Sts. Peter & Paul Catholic School in New Hradec. At an early age she began helping her parents with chores on the farm. On June 16, 1941, Dorothy and Emil T. Kubas were united in marriage at Sts. Peter & Paul Catholic Church. To this union five children were born: Donovan, Marie, Quentin, Rita and Laurie. Together, Dorothy and Emil raised their children and farmed their land until 1948 when they moved to Dickinson. Dorothy was an excellent seamstress and enjoyed making clothes for her family. She loved being outdoors and spent a majority of her life tending her garden and canning the produce. Dorothy loved working in the kitchen and will be remembered for her Czech cooking and baked goods. Her grandchildren and great-grandchildren brought her great joy and faithfully attended all their sporting events. Dorothy also enjoyed going to her farm riding the lawn tractor. She enjoyed spending time walking outside or at the WRCC. Dorothy had an infectious smile that came very easy when she greeted all. She was a member of the Dakota Czech Singers, Catholic Daughters, and St. Patrick’s Catholic Church where she had a weekly adoration hour for over 20 years. Dorothy is survived by her sons, Donovan R. (Patricia) of Minot, and Quentin E.
