World War II veteran Dorothy Hess reflected on her daring life full of service work as she approaches her 100th birthday on Jan. 19.
To celebrate, Hess and her friends and family will enjoy cake and hot prime rib at her retirement community as they recount stories – something she has an abundance of which to tell.
Susan Hess Logeais said her mother taught her to be courageous at a young age.
“She laid the groundwork for me to have an adventurous life at a very young age because she did that,” said Hess Logeais.
