The Smiley face we all take for granted in emails, on letters and packages and "graded" papers, (usually yellow in color) was quite certainly bequeathed to our society to remind us of This person. Always warm, tolerant and kind to her "wrecking crew," Dorothy raised a heck of a great family. She lives on thru each and all of her family and close friends, for we are all better for having known her. Go Beavers!

I was very blessed to have had Dorothy in my life. I was her hairdresser for over 22 years. We had a very specal friendship, that I will always treasure. She was "grandma Dorothy" to my youngest. I would take her with me when I cut Dorothy's hair in the early years. Thoughts and prayers are with the family

We will miss Grandma Dorothy's laughter, her love, and her presence at the family gatherings. She loved going to the Quinault Indian Casino where when playing the slots, she would say (with a smile): "Oh, did I win again?" The pictures we have of her and our memories of her, we will cherish forever. God's Blessings to you Grandma "D". Vicki, Michael, Shannon
