Dolores G. "Dee" Koetter Moffatt

Dolores G. “Dee” Koetter Moffatt, age 88, of Paynesville, passed away on March 4, 2026, at CentraCare Health Care Center in Paynesville.

Born on July 14, 1937, in St. Martin, Minnesota, to Herman and Margaret (Pohlmann) Fischer, Dee was raised in the Roscoe area. She married Roman Koetter on January 17, 1956, and together they moved to St. Cloud, where they raised their family. After her divorce, she married Ron Moffatt and they made their home in North Dakota. Following Ron’s death, she returned to Minnesota and later settled in Cold Spring.

Dee worked for ten years at St. Scholastica in St. Cloud until her battle with cancer led to her retirement. She found great joy in spending time with her family, traveling, cooking, and helping others in need. She was a longtime member of the St. Cloud Aerie 622, the Women of the Moose in Waite Park, the Cold Spring American Legion Auxiliary, and the New York Mills VFW Auxiliary.

She is survived by her sons Mike (Cathy) Koetter of New London and David (Norma) Koetter of St. Joseph, her daughter Karen (Michael) Goedert of Sauk Rapids, 14 grandchildren, many great-grandchildren and great-great-grandchildren, and her siblings Harold Fischer of St. Joseph, Mary (Gerald) Schill of Waite Park, Linda (Leon) Flint of Richmond, and Duane (Deb) Fischer of Cold Spring. She was preceded in death by her parents, her husband Ron, her son Mark, her grandson Brian, her great-grandson Levi, her great-great-grandson Dechlan, and her siblings Clarence, Donald, Victor, and Luella Fischer.
