   Dorothy Hinsz, age 97, formerly of Brevik and Longville, MN, passed away on Monday, February 13, 2023, at her home in Cloquet, MN.

   Dorothy was born on March 27, 1925, in Kief, ND to Anton and Pauline (Desenko) Volochenko. After graduating from high school, she went on to receive her teaching certificate in ND. On October 8, 1944, she was united in marriage to Ben Hinsz. She travelled with him to Mississippi for military training and then California where she lived until his honorable discharge. They moved back to North Dakota for a time,  then to Brevik, MN, in 1948, and purchased a farm. Along with farming, Dorothy grew a large vegetable garden every summer and cleaned cabins at various resorts in the area. She moved to Longville in 2007, and Cloquet in 2015, to be closer to her daughter.

   Dorothy was lovingly known as “Ma” or “Grandma” by all the neighborhood kids. She was a member of the Brevik Ladies Aid, Longville Bible Chapel and the Ladies Auxiliary.

   She will be lovingly remembered by her children: Dale (Cheryl) Hinsz and Ray (Rochelle) Hinsz both of Remer, MN; Sidney Hinsz and Greg Hinsz both of Aurora, MN; and Pam (Bob) Moen of Cloquet, MN; many grandchildren, great-grandchildren and great-great-grandchildren; siblings: Pete and Delore both of ND; as well as several nieces and nephews.

Dorothy was preceded in death by her husband, Ben and several siblings.

   A graveside service will be held at 1:00 P.M. on Friday, February 17, 2023, at Riverside Cemetery in Longville, MN.
