I will miss Dee very much she was a very special lady. We travel 18 years to Spring training and she loved the Mariners. I loved how she worked with the homeless at Willows Place. She never missed coming to her Kiwanis meeting in Kent.

I worked with Dorothy and always found her be a no nonsense and gracious lady. She spoke often of her family and what was going on in her life
