Co-founder of the Jolly Rancher Candy Company Dies at 91

It is a sad day for anyone who grew up with Jolly Ranchers:


Dorothy Harmsen, who was a co-founder of the Jolly Rancher Candy Company, the maker of tangy, slowly dissolving bricks of fruit-flavored candy, and the owner of one of the nation’s largest private collections of art of the American West, died in Denver on Aug. 29. She was 91.
