This wonderful, soft spoken woman provided me with much needed encouragement as I ventured thru' the world of A-1/A-2 square dancing.
She was a kind friend and an astute tax preparer.
My condolences are offered to her friends and family.

Bethany, Keitha and family,
So sorry for your loss. I only met your grandma once and instantly liked her. May she rest in peace with God and the angels.

Betty and Andy, Promenader Editors

Dorothy was a dear and wonderful friend and vital co-worker on the Promenader square dance publication, for which she served as subscription editor since November 1993. Although she was hard-working, kind, cheerful, encouraging, and full of life, those words fall short in describing her spirit. May that spirit live on and dance with joy!

We are so saddened by Dorothy's passing. She was a wonderful friend and fellow square dancer. She will be missed by all! Love and prayers to the family, Vito and Helen Rinaldo
