On her 100th birthday the Hub City Times asked her what she did to reach such a milestone. She answered “I never had a driver’s license so I walked a mile each day to work and back for 37 years - no wonder I can’t walk anymore,” she laughed.

The famous Packer receiver, Max McGee, visited Dorothy at her home and autographed a picture of himself which she proudly displayed.

He grew up in Rib Lake where he attended Clearview Grade School and was a 1972 graduate of Rib Lake High School.

He began his employment at Weather Shield and worked there from 1972 until 1977. In 1977 Joe purchased the family farm on Fawn Avenue in Rib Lake and owned and operated it until recently. Joe loved nature, and farming. He enjoyed working the fields in the spring and milking the cows, also harvesting his crops in the summer and fall. He would work day and night to get the crops in on time and took great pride in having his land looking the best. He was united in marriage to Rhonda Fallos on May 12, 1990. When winter came, that meant one thing, “Snowmobiling”! It was his love of sledding that met his wife of over thirty years, Rhonda. When winter arrived, he was gone every chance he had to “ride his sled”. Joe was the founder of the “2:30 Club” and anyone who knew him, knew what that meant. He shared his love of farming and snowmobiling with his children and they enjoyed riding the trails as much as Joe. He and his youngest Emily, shared an extraordinary bond and love of farming and snowmobiling, watching out for each other at all times. Joe’s love for his family and friends was shown by his willingness to help anyone in need, even if he had chores to do, snow to plow, or animals to tend to. He was a member of Good Shepherd Catholic Church in Rib Lake, the Spirit Lake Northwoods Riders and the Interwald Wanderers Snowmobile Club. He will be dearly missed by his wife, Rhonda; mother, Helen; children, Jaclyn (Adam) Zuleger, Gregory (Laurie) Ziembo, Amy (Rick) Roggenbuck and Emily Ziembo; three granddaughters, Alinah Jo Ziembo, Raelyn Waszkiewicz and Quinn Zuleger; two goddaughters, Carrie Rinehart and Jina Higgins.
