Dorothy was born in Wagoner, Oklahoma but spent most of her life in Stockton, California with her husband Stanley and her son Kevin. She moved to Yuba City in 2009 to be closer to Kevin and his family due to failing health. She is survived by her son, Kevin C. Orton and daughter-in-law, Judy Orton, two grandchildren, Brandon Alexander Orton and Michael Elijah Orton, all of Yuba City; numerous nieces and nephews in California and Oklahoma; and friends in Stockton, Sacramento, and Yuba City.

We would like to express our special thanks to Dorothy's wonderful caregiver Linda Lucero of Live Oak for her love and care during Dorothy's last weeks. We know that Dorothy is in Jehovah's memory and look forward to seeing her again when she is resurrected back to life on the promised paradise earth.
