She returned to the Emporia, Kansas area that fall to be near family. Her third son was born in February of 1965. Dorothea completed her Licensed Practical Nurse certification in 1967. In 1970, she married Arthur Kaesler and resided with him on a farm near Osage City, Kansas for several years before moving to Panhandle, Texas. She and Art spent over 30 years in Panhandle, until Art died in 2001, and she continued to live there until 2013 when she moved to Jacksonville to be near her son Jim.
