Dorylen W. Van Wagner, age 91, longtime resident of Plymouth, Ohio, passed away on Friday, December 23, 2022 at the Willows at Willard in Willard, Ohio. She was born in Cleveland, Ohio on April 13, 1931.
Dorylen, known as Dory, had been a very active member of the Plymouth American Legion Auxiliary, Plymouth Volunteer Fire Ladies and the original and current Plymouth Ox Roast by the American Legion.

Friends known as the “Gang” also played a big part in her life, creating many memories together. She loved helping people and all of her children’s friends knew the door was always open. She is called mom by many and will be missed by all.

Dutch & Barb and families, So many great memories with our Plymouth family! What a joyful meeting she had arriving in heaven! It's hard to be too sad knowing her eyes are sparkly again, and she's with so much of our family that has went ahead of us! I am selfishly sad for those of us left behind. She will definitely be missed. Hold onto those very special memories in the difficult days ahead. I will always remember Dory's sweet smile and the fun times we all shared... Until we are all together again, may God Bless each of you, Love Cindy & Family
