She was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, great grandmother and great great grandmother. She had a special love for her family and was an avid animal lover.

Dorothy was a dedicated mother first and foremost. She treasured her children and embraced every moment with them. She especially loved her role as grandma, great grandma, and even becoming a great great grandma. She had a vivacious personality and always made people around her laugh. She made friends everywhere she went. Her favorite place to be was in the kitchen cooking for her family, and loved to watch everyone fight over her macaroni and cheese pie. The laughs and memories had at her family dinners will be memories we cherish forever. She will be dearly missed and forever in our hearts.
