Doris C. Backus

I knew and admired Dodie before I even enrolled in kindergarten. She was a friend and fellow activist with my Mother, Dorothy Coats. They shared a happy enthusiasm for life and good works.

I will miss Friday afternoon visits with Dodie and our movie and lunch outings. I miss the laughter we shared and the commiserating about the state of the union. Though we couldn't meet in person during the pandemic, I really enjoyed our long telephone conversations. I am grateful for Dodie's friendship beginning with the Renaissance singing group and beyond. I imagine she is now singing with the angels. In loving memory, Jean Cawood

I´m so sorry to hear Dodie passed away. She made my first year working in the Legislature a success, John and I would probably never have gotten married if she hadn´t literally made it happen. Love to all of your family.

I loved your Mom dearly, and I am heartbroken that she has passed. Sending love and light to you, my dear cousins

My deepest condolences to everyone in your family. She sounds like she was an amazing woman. RIP.

May Gods promise found in John 6: 40, of the hope to see our loved ones again,comfort your heart and give you peace,strength and hope in the days ahead.

May the love of God, friends and family carry you through your grief. I am sorry to hear of your loss. Please accept my condolences. 2nd Thessalonians 2:15, 16.

Offering our deepest condolences during this difficult time.
