A memory...I remember my Aunt WillaJean as the hardest working woman I've ever known. She could drive tractors, trucks, plant and harvest. She was part carpenter, rabbit and chicken raiser. She reminded me of a pioneer. Today I totally respect her drive, her abilities, I mean, when Uncle Harvey got sick, she got busy with nurses training so she could take care of him.. When he passed away she continued farming, and defending the eagles that had made their home on a "wash" on the side of her property.
I never knew Great Grandma Kate, but it's my guess that WillaJean was just like her from the stories I've been told by my mom, who is WillaJeans big sister. As the two sisters grew in years they helped each other more and more, farming, raking leaves, painting window frames, cleaning chickens etc. as I write this one memory after another keeps popping up. I remember once when mom and I went to WillaJeans house but she wasn't home. I had a big dog with us and he jumped out the door and went crazy chasing chickens. Mom, walking with her cane, and I, chased the dog chasing the chickens. Mom waving her cane around, what a hoot! Well WillaJean pulled in the driveway, mom and I just got busted! WillaJean didn't get one bit ruffled. She got out of her car, the dog calmed down instantly, the chickens went in their coup, and we humans went inside for tea. I'll never forget that one.
She would wash the dishes then use the water over for plants, or whatever needed it. She did not waste. Anything!
When she had the skating rink, she also employed her brother, Uncle Bud. It gave purpose to their lives to help each other.
Milford is a better town because of my Aunt WillaJean Dobson.

I came to know Willa at a very young age. She open the skating rink in Spencer and made that our home for many young people to have something fun todo every weekend. I have very fond memories of Willa teaching young children how to skate.

Enjoyed a lot of time roller skating and making great memories with my boys. Willa was always helping me get the boys skates on, setting up birthday parties or just greeting us with a smile. Hope you are skating in Heaven. Thanks for all you've done for so many.
