She was educated at the College of Saint Teresa in Minnesota, the National Catholic School of Social Service, and The Catholic University of America (CUA). She worked at some of these institutions as well as several others, both academic and charitable, and was editor of the journal Social Thought towards the end of her career. She was married to Bruce M. Mohler, longtime director of the Immigration Bureau (later a department) of the National Catholic Welfare Conference. She was also an advocate for the archiving of Catholic Social Welfare records and a major benefactor to the CUA Archives, both with sizeable annual donations during her lifetime and a substantial bequest at her death. Her papers include personal memorabilia, correspondence, subject files, NCSSS administration files, financial records, legal files, publications and printed material, and photographs. 334 English Biographical Note

Dorothy Mary Abts was born September 23, 1908 in Randolph, Nebraska. She was the daughter of Anton Abts and Christina Lang. She attended the College of St. Teresa in Winona, Minnesota, 1925-1929, where she obtained an A.B. in English and Latin. She was in Washington, D.C., 1929-1931, where she earned an M.A. degree in Sociology at The Catholic University of America (CUA) and a Diploma in Social Work at The National Catholic School of Social Service (NCSSS). The NCSSS was at this time under the direction of the National Council of Catholic Women (NCCW).

She began her career in Baltimore, Maryland, where she worked as a social worker at the Harriet Lane Clinic, Johns Hopkins Hospital, 1931-1932. She then worked as a supervisor of the Catholic Charities of Omaha, Nebraska, 1932-1935. She returned to Washington to serve on the faculty of the National Catholic School of Social Service, 1935-1944. She also served as an Instructor in the Nebraska School of Social Work in the summer of 1938. Returning to Washington, she also served as an Instructor at CUA School of Social Work, 1938-1943, and the CUA School of Nursing, 1938-1943.

She obtained a Ph.D. in Sociology from CUA in 1945, with Paul Hanly Furfey as her director, Francis Connell, C.SS.R. and Dean Lucien Lauermann of NCSSS as her readers. She worked as a caseworker for the Foster Day Care and Counseling Association in Washington, 1945-1946, and then moved to Green Bay, Wisconsin, where she worked as Assistant Director of the Diocesan Apostolate, 1946-1948. She returned to Washington where she worked as an Instructor at NCSSS, which was now part of CUA, 1948-1949, and then as Assistant Professor, 1949-1959, and Associate Professor, 1959-1979. She was married in 1949 to Bruce M. Mohler, longtime director of the Immigration Bureau (later a department) of the National Catholic Welfare Conference. They had no children, and he died in 1967.

Dr. Mohler also worked as a supervisor in the Home Service Section of the American Red Cross in 1949 and as an Instructor at Trinity College, 1950-1952. She served as editor of the journal Social Thought, a joint production of NCSSS and Catholic Charities USA (formerly the National Conference of Catholic Charities), from 1976 to 1988. Dorothy Mohler continued to live in Washington, D.C. until she moved to a nursing home in Omaha, Nebraska in 1998. She died there of congestive heart failure on February 18, 2000.

Dorothy Abts Mohler was a long-time advocate of the need for American Catholic institutions and organizations to archive their records. She was especially interested in preserving the documentary evidence for Catholic Social Welfare. To that end she facilitated the donation of records from such important groups as Catholic Charities USA and to the Archives at The Catholic University of America. In addition, beginning in 1983 she began to make annual anonymous donations to the CUA Archives to support efforts to adequately house and organize these records. Finally, by terms of her will she left a substantial bequest that was used to create the Dorothy Mohler Memorial Endowment Fund that continues to support the work of the CUA Archives.
