Dorothy "Dottie" Jean Westberg was born on January 12, 1946, in Miles City, Montana, arriving after her twin brother, Doug Lockie. She was the third of six children in her family.

After graduating from high school, she attended Montana State University in Bozeman, majoring in home economics. Just one quarter shy of graduation, she chose a new path and applied to become a Western Airlines stewardess. She moved to Seattle and flew the Alaska route, a decision that would change the course of her life. In 1969, she met Wayne Westberg on one of those flights, and soon after moved to Anchorage, Alaska. They married in 1970. She later left Western Airlines to devote herself to raising their three children: Wade, Kris, and Courtney.

She devoted her life to her faith in Christ and was an active member of her ladies' Bible study group for decades. She was a devoted sports fan for her children and loved her family with all her heart. Her kindness and gentle spirit were evident to everyone she met. Blessed with many gifts and talents, she shared them generously throughout her life, and she was always grateful for the financial blessings God provided. She also found great joy in singing, sharing her voice wherever she went. She will be sorely missed.

She is survived by her sons, Wade and Kris (Megan), and her daughter, Courtney (Christie); her beloved grandchildren, Asher and Avery; Alicia Westberg and numerous cherished nieces and nephews. She is also survived by her siblings: Jim Lockie; Doug Lockie (Vickie) and his daughters, Heather and Shawn; Dave Lockie (Jennie) and their children, Kiersten (Dave) and their daughter, Nicolina, Josh (Kathy), Tim (Jenny) and their children, Alexina and John David, and Becky; Jerry Lockie (Stephanie) and their daughter, Elizabeth, and her son, Jamison; and Joyce Evanson (Paul) and their children, James, Christae (Cody), Rachel (Adam) and their son, Liam, Makenzie (Victor), and Morgan (Riley).

She was preceded in death by her parents, George and Olive Lockie; her husband, Wayne Westberg; and her sister-in-law, Kathy Lockie.

Memorial Service will be at St. John United Methodist Church (1801 O'Malley Road) at 4:00 p.m. on December 4, 2025
