PEORIA – Dora A. Ketcherside, 93, of Peoria, died Wednesday, May 6, 2015 at 3:13 p.m. at UnityPoint Health-Methodist in Peoria.
She was born December 6, 1921 in St. Louis, Missouri and raised by Talcott F. "Daddy Bill" and Susie (Foster) Seger. She married Tillman T. Ketcherside and he died on January 3, 1993 in Peoria.
Dora was also preceded in death by her brothers, Robert and Lynwood Foster; a daughter, Terry Sue Miller; and grandson, Todd Miller.

Dora lived her childhood in Potosi, Missouri, which she always referred to as "down home". Upon marrying Till, they moved to East Peoria. She worked as a bookkeeper, office clerk and manager for the businesses they started together and owned for 40 plus years until they both retired. Not slowing down even when they moved to the farm on the outskirts of Peoria where they raised cattle. She enjoyed spending time with family and friends at the "Frog Pond". She also loved spending time with her dear friends, the "Pool Puppies". Dora was a die-hard St. Louis Cardinals fan.
