Dorothy was a life-long homemaker.  She was a woman of faith and a devoted member of the New Mercy Worship Center church family in Mattoon.  Dorothy was a caring and loving woman, whose vibrant and upbeat personality and spirit drew people to her.  She enjoyed flowers and arranging them to create beautiful displays, but it was her family which was the most important aspect of her life.  Nothing was better than sharing quality time with the ones she dearly loved.  They will truly miss her and will always cherish their many wonderful memories.
