Dot was one of nine children born to Erwin and Minnie Berkbuegler. The Berkbueglers were a hard working farm family and anyone who knew her will tell you she maintained that work ethic her whole life. She was not one to slow down and take a break. After marriage, Dot left Biehle and she and Vern moved quite a few times. They lived in St. Ann, St. Charles, Kansas City, and Ste. Genevieve, Missouri. Dot and Vern eventually made their way back to Biehle and then Perryville. Dot’s favorite job was working for many years as the school secretary at St. Joseph’s in Cottleville, MO. In her later years, she worked part time at the Perryville elementary and highschool cafeterias. Dot was an active member of the St. Maurus Ladies Sodality, she volunteered her time by quilting for the St. Maurus church raffles and working at the Perryville, MO, Food Pantry.
