Most of her working years were in the accounting field. In 1964, she was employed by Allen's Self-Service Stores and stayed there for 21 years until the business was sold. Prior to the sale of the business, the office was moved from the Grand Island store to the North Platte store, so Dorothy was moved by the company to North Platte in 1980.
She and William lived in Las Vegas and Sun City, Ariz., before settling in Kearney. Dorothy enjoyed knitting, sewing, cooking, genealogy and spending time with her family.
She was preceded in death by her son, Daniel J. Salyard, and brother, Robert McGuan.
