We are heartbroken to announce that Josephine (Dodie) Jeanne Carr, 88, of Ventura, California, passed away on February 7, 2025 peacefully at home surrounded by her loving family. Dodie was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin to Elmer and Catherine (Petronovich) Auger on September 19, 1936. She attended Wauwatosa High School and University of Wisconsin, Madison.
Dodie was an active member in Ventura BnBs Square Dancing, acting as treasurer and holding positions with BnBs International. She was an excellent seamstress and baker. Her Christmas cookies and pumpkin pies were eagerly anticipated every year. She was a sweet and loving mom and g-ma.
Dodie is survived by her son Rand (Terry Pizzo) Ketchpaw, daughter Kay (Brent) Clark, grandchildren Catherine and Isabelle Clark, and many cousins, nieces and nephews on the Ketchpaw, Auger, and Petronovich sides. She is preceded in death by her parents, her brother, Dr. Gerald Auger, and her grandson Cameron Clark.
In lieu of flowers, donations would be welcomed at Mercy Crusade Spay, Neuter, and Wellness Clinic, Oxnard, California. Our family is grateful for the amazing care providers from Assisted Hospice and the loving care of Dr. Bruce Woodling and his staff.
Dodie will be interred with her parents in Milwaukee at a later date. Arrangements are under the direction of Joseph P. Reardon Funeral Home & Cremation Service 757 E. Main St., Ventura.
