The Daily Courier, Prescott, Arizona Thursday, January 19, 2006 Jerri Anne Dorr, 68, of Prescott, passed away at her home on January 15, 2006, after a short illness. Originally from Missouri, Jerri grew up in Denver, Colo., and lived there for some time. After Denver, Jerri made her home in Steamboat Springs, as the mother of three children. She married Bob Dorr, of Steamboat, in 1978 and they eventually relocated to Prescott 1995. In Steamboat she will be remembered as the owner of the Hatch Bar, a downtown drinking and dancing establishment where everyone gathered and was welcome. Her marriage to Bob, a Routt County commissioner for a time, involved her in social and community events and with his significant family. Others will remember her management of the Hayden Airport Bar when that airport began accepting direct flights, bringing skiers from around the U.S. When the Dorrs went to Arizona, she transferred her considerable hospitality skills to the Antelope Hills Golf Course Bar and Grill, in Prescott, as Restaurant and Bar owner with partner Bob for several years. Jerri is survived by her husband, Bob Dorr of Prescott; children, Michael Doty, Ronald Doty and wife Jackie, Linda Widman and husband Ed; grandchildren Shaylon and Shasta Doty, and Christopher, Adam, Michael, and Elise Widman. The family looks forward to a remembrance ceremony in Steamboat in the summer. The family appreciates the generosity of Catholic Social Services of Prescott during Jerri's illness. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions will be appreciated at Catholic Social Services of Prescott, 434 W. Guriey, Prescott, Ariz., 86301. Chino Valley Funeral Home is caring for the family.
