Dorinda K. Koch, 61, of Sheboygan left this earth and went home to be with her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on Thursday night, May 8, 2014.

Dorinda was a member of Evangelical Free Church in Sheboygan, where she was active in various ministries and bible studies. She loved and adored her children and grandchildren.
