Dorothy Koch passed away April 10, 2010, at the age of 83. She was preceded in death by her husband and son, Stanley and Billy Koch. She was born in Gonzalez but was raised in Hollister. Dorothy had a passion for succulents and belonged to a Succulent Club in Northern California. She loved the outdoors, card parties, gardening and animals, above all her Chichewa Lucy. She spent her life devoted to her family: daughter and son in law Kathy and Frank Ostoja, four grandchildren, Michael and wife Jessica, Stephen and wife Jeannine, Kristie and Leslie Ostoja. She was also very lucky to have spent time with her three great- grandsons, Adam, Riley and Jacob Ostoja. She is remembered for her generosity, kindness, laughter and shopping (especially shoes!). The last few years of her life she felt at peace and blessed for all she had! Private family graveside services to be held.
Donations can be made in her name to The American Diabetes Foundation.
