The family wishes to thank Georgia Robison for helping Dorothy live independently in her home until almost the end. Raymond and Dorothy’s ashes will be laid to rest on Saturday, July 22th at the Ely cemetery at 3 pm. Friends and family welcome.
Dorothy and Raymond Lani were dear friends to my parents. They will be sorely missed. I remember them well growing up in Ely. My Dad and Raymond were good friends. They staked a mine together outside of Currie, Nevada and I remember visiting them from time to time in the evenings. Their stories were colored with many memories of the past. It was always a treat visiting them. Dorothy was a awesome homemaker and grandmother. She was also a great crafts lady with beautiful knittings of blankets and things she would make.
