Iron Mountain- Dorothe S. Sleik, 85 of Iron Mountain, Mich., passed away on Wednesday, December 3, 2025, surrounded by her loving family.

Dorothe was born on July 17, 1940, in Kingsford, Mich., the daughter of the late George and Dorothe (Jordon) Paige. On October 19, 1984, Dorothe joined hands in marriage with Gary Sleik. They spent the next 41 years sharing their home in Merriman.

Dorothe was a big Green Bay Packer fan, but an even bigger Brett Favre fan. She was a huge music fan and also loved to read. Dorothe enjoyed knitting until her hands no longer allowed her to do so. Spending time with family and friends was her favorite pastime.
