On May 18, 2019, Dottie Wilde Casperson, 87, passed away peacefully with her family around her in Preston, Idaho.

Dottie, the ninth of ten children, was born July 5, 1931, to Oscar Lawrence and Martha Christine (Petersen) Wilde.  She lived in Mink Creek, Idaho, until 1947 when she married the love of her life, Owen Milton Ross Casperson, who frequently told others he married a "Wilde" woman.

Owen and Dottie were sealed in the Logan, Temple, and had nine wonderful children.  Owen and Dottie lived in Alaska for a time, but made Preston their home.  Dottie lived for her family and grandchildren.  Dottie's home was always welcome to family and friends and she loved to have them come to her home.
