Niagara-Dolores "Lorry" K. Morstad, 87, of Niagara, Wis., passed into eternal life on Monday, May 15, 2017, at Maryhill Manor, Niagara. She was born June 25, 1929, in Crystal Falls, Mich., daughter of the late Hadar and Agnes (RonBack) Peterson. After graduating from high school, Lorry worked at the Iron County Courthouse and later at Wilding Picture Productions in Chicago, Ill. Lorry was married to Robert E. Morstad for 63 years, and they were blessed with seven children. Throughout her life, Lorry was actively involved in the church and the community. She participated in her church by serving on the Board, Eve Circle, and teaching Sunday school. In 1971, Lorry became the second woman elected to the Niagara School Board. She was a devoted wife to Robert, and they shared a love of music, reading, and dancing. During their retirement years, they enjoyed traveling through Canada, Alaska, with annual trips to Florida. A highlight trip for Lorry was to visit relatives in Sweden. Lorry's legacy was her commitment to faith, family, and her sense of humor.
