Dorothy Lucille Lange

January 31, 1931 — July 8, 2024

Flower Mound, Texas

Dorothy Lucille Lange, 93, of Flower Mound, Texas, passed away on July 8, 2024. “Dottie” was born on January 31, 1931, in St. Louis, Missouri, to Berniece (Roemer) and Howard Perry, and was educated in the city’s public schools.

She and her husband, Dr. Richard (“Doc”) Lange, started dating in late December, 1947, one month prior to their high school graduation. They were married at Tyler Place Presbyterian Church in St. Louis on March 17, 1951, and were happily married for almost 55 years, until Doc’s death on January 30, 2006. Dottie and Doc moved to Vandalia, Missouri, in January, 1954, and were blessed with the births of three daughters, Janet (Joel) Glass, Patti (Kevin) Land, and Tracy (Darien) Rentfro, who survive. She was “Gram” to six grandchildren and twelve great-grandchildren who also survive. Dottie was preceded in death by her parents, her husband, her sister, Jean Glauert, and one great-grandchild, Adeline Eppelsheimer.

Dottie was a devout Christian, serving the First Presbyterian Church as a Sunday School teacher, Vacation Bible School organizer and teacher, organist, choir member, and more. In the community, she served as a Girl Scout troop leader, member of St. Cecilia Music Club, and she was a member of the P.E.O. Sisterhood for over 50 years.
