Dorothy, you will always be a bright light dancing in my mind and laughing in my heart.
The world will miss your sparkle, the PACS food bank and Meals on Wheels will miss your volunteer time and care, and your family will miss the love you spread to all.

I have very fond memories of spending time with the Dinneen family as a grade school friend of Catherine. Dorothy was always welcoming us kids into the family and being an extra mom to us all. She was a lovely person. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
In sympathy,

I have such fond memories of Mrs. Dinneen. Spending many nights in the little house on 58th and the big White House in NE Portland with Catherine! She always invited me to stay for dinner so much fun. Sweet Dorothy is reunited with JC and Paul living in Paradise. Rest In Peace dear lady.

I remember when I became friends with Dave, how he decided I needed to come with him when he visited your family. And how fast your mom, and the rest seemed to accept me, because I was his friend! Great memories!

Lilacs and tulips and roses in bunches
Wine and black coffee and french fries at lunches
Dancing and music and tunes with a beat
All made Dorothy jump up from her seat
Movies and books and The Washington Post
These were the things that pleased her the most . . .

Dorothy was my spunky Aunt with beautiful dark dancing eyes. She was funny and had lots of great stories and quips. I always enjoyed talking to her at family gatherings. My thought are with her family, I know you will miss her greatly.

My loving, fun, and beautiful Auntie D. Is gone. Part of my heart has gone with her. Oh, the many wonderful memories...even the days of picking endless raspberries at her and Uncle J.C.'s farm.
Rest in peace, my Aunt Dorothy.
Love always from your flower girl,
