Dorothy Gilson of Marble Falls passed away on Saturday, May 28, 2016 at her residence at the Arbor House.
Dorothy was born on Dec. 28, 1922 to Arthur Olson and Helen Knopp Olson in Des Moines, Iowa and was the third of four children.
She moved to Perry, Iowa as a young child and lived there until joining the Foreign Service after high school.
She worked at the Pentagon and in Germany before moving to Houston, Texas, where her sister Mildred was living at the time, and which became her home for the next 60+ years.
It was there that she met her husband Harold Edwin Gilson Sr., raised her two children, and made many life-long friends.
Dorothy had a big personality and a hearty laugh!
