Mrs. Dorsey was one of the kindest, considerate, compassionate, concerned teachers I knew. I worked with her from 1989 until she retired. There, I saw her as an exemplary teacher and coworker. She was beautiful both internally and externally. Both, her personal and professional assets made her a cherished member of the faculty. Please know that she will be missed by the entire Connally School Family. May God bless those who follow in her footsteps.
From a colleague and professional friend.
