Dorothy Tack
January 7, 1924 — February 13, 2013
Dorothy L. Tack, 89, of Battle Creek died Wednesday February 13, 2013 at Select Specialty Hospital. She was born January 7, 1924 in Colon, MI to Lynn E. and Esther V. (Snyder) Ambs.
Dorothy grew up in Battle Creek and graduated from Battle Creek Central High School in 1942. She married Minor (Mike) L. Tack on November 1, 1944, who preceded her in death in 1984 after 39 years of marriage. Throughout her working years, Dorothy was employed by Eaton’s, Lakeview General Hospital, L.W. Robinson Co., and Lakeview Card Shop. She later volunteered at Battle Creek Health System gift shop, where she worked four hours a week and accumulated over 1000 hours of service. She was a wonderful cook and enjoyed knitting, fishing, playing cards, working puzzles, traveling, visiting the casino, vacationing on Caribbean cruises, and spending time with family and friends. She REALLY enjoyed watching the Lions lose every Sunday. Grandma Tack was a lady and will be missed by many.
