Dorothy M Ensign
October 9, 1933 - September 3, 2025
Dorothy Marie Ensign (née Maki), 91, passed away peacefully at home with family at her side on September 3, 2025. She was born on October 9, 1933, in Biwabik, Minnesota to Niilo and Aune Maki and she grew up on the Iron Range. Dorothy met her husband William while they were in college, and Duluth was where they built their lives and raised their children.
Mom loved spending time at our family cabin, where she found joy in nature and togetherness, and she always made sure the wood pile was in order.
Dorothy was preceded in death by her parents; her husband of 50 years William; and her dear friend David. She is survived by her four children: Catherine (Spyros), David, Charles (Cindy), and Matthew; her six grandchildren; and her great-granddaughter.
