Dolly was born June 23, 1924, in rural Gilman to Edwin and Thea (Larsen Morstol) Burchland. She graduated from Gilman High School in 1941 and Iowa Teachers College in 1943. On February 24, 1945, Dolly was united in marriage to Raymond Schnur in Gilman. Dolly taught second grade for two years in Colo and was a member of the S.E.N.A. Club for many years. In their many years on the farm, Dolly raised chickens and planted a large garden, canning many vegetables and freezing sweet corn. She was a great cook and many people looked forward to receiving her red raspberry jam.

She will be remembered for her sweet demeanor and as a completely unselfish person.

She was preceded in death by her parents; her husband; her children: Raymond Jr. (in infancy) and Duane Schnur; her sister, Margaret Lamberti; her brothers: Nils and Tom Burchland.
