50 Years: Ken and Pat Dopheide

Ken and Pat Dopheide were married March 24, 1973 by Father Don Knuffman at St. Peter Catholic Church in Quincy.

They have two children – Laura (Scott) Bergman from Quincy and Mike (Jeannette) Dopheide from Champaign. They also have two grandchildren and three step-grandchildren – Haley Dotson and Lucas Dotson from Quincy, and Cade (Rayme) Bergman from New London, Mo., Alexis Bergman from Columbia, Mo., and Luke Bergman from Quincy — and one step great grandchild – Ember Bergman.

Ken worked at Brower Manufacturing for a year followed by two years as chief draftsman for Monogram before serving in the U.S. Navy. After two years in the Navy, Ken was a draftsman at Moorman’s/LED/QDM for about 19 years, then owned and operated Partners In Design for 20 years, retiring in 2012.

Pat worked for five years at Moorman’s as a Class A secretary, followed by nearly 32 years as an executive secretary for Prince Agri Products before retiring in 2017.

The Dopheide’s are members of Union United Methodist Church. They will celebrate with a short trip in the coming months.
