Mary Dorner

Mary Ann Dorner, age 78, of Luxemburg, passed away peacefully at her home Thursday, October 16, 2025. Mary was born on February 27, 1947, to the late Joseph E. and Doris G. (Marcelle) Paul of Luxemburg, Wisconsin. On May 10, 1974, she married David J. Dorner, and together they shared 38 years of marriage and were blessed with one daughter, Joy.

Mary was cherished for her warm heart, gentle spirit, and unwavering dedication to others. As a devoted nurse for more than 40 years, she brought comfort, compassion, and healing to countless lives. She found happiness in life's simple pleasures-playing cards, sharing sweet treats, and spending time with her family and friends.
