DOROTHY BRENDA BREIDENSTINE
April 10, 1935 - May 29, 2019
Dorothy Brenda Breidenstine, 84, died May 29, 2019 in Colorado Springs, Colorado. She was a loving and devoted wife, mother, sister, grandmother, great-grandmother and friend to many.
She was born April 10, 1935 to Reginald Eli and Gladys Mary (Thomas) Butcher in Swindon, England and was the third of eight children.
Dorothy was a homemaker until the early 1970's when her and her family moved from Europe to the United States. It was there she took a job as baker and salad maker at Furrs Cafeteria, and later at ENT Air Force Base.
Dorothy was a gifted quilter and knitter, and devoted much of her time and skill creating caps, scarves, baby booties and blankets which she donated to babies and children in need and to the homeless.
She is preceded in death by her husband, Harold Lee Breidenstine; her parents; her son; Lionel A. Breidenstine; her son-in-law, Daniel Young; her grandson, David L. Young; and her brother, Michael Butcher.
Dorothy is survived by her three children, Eugene Breidenstine and Debbie Young, both of Colorado Springs, Colorado, and Linda Anderson of Tiverton, Rhode Island; four grandchildren, Michael, Matt, CJ, Andrew and Hannah; four great-grandchildren, Mason, MaKenna, Ryan and Josh; her siblings, Tim, John, Valerie, David and Keith all residing in England, and Rosemary of Sarasota, Florida; and her granddaughters-in-law, Misty Ruiz and Tammy Young.
