Dorothy LeVon Rosvold was born June 26, 1930, in Montevideo, Minnesota. She was the daughter of Wilhelm and Selma (Lee) Rosvold. Dorothy was baptized and confirmed at Christ Lutheran Church in Cottonwood. She attended school there and graduated from Cottonwood High School with the class of 1947.

In September of 1947, Dorothy was united in marriage to Morris Bjornebo in Iowa. The couple spent several years together and had two daughters, Cheryl and Sandra. After a divorce, Dorothy met Warren Snyder on a blind date and the two were married on October 16, 1960, in Minneapolis. They shared nearly 57 years of marriage together and had two children: Shelly and Brian.

Dorothy and Warren lived in rural Marshall until 2000, when they moved from the farm into Marshall.
