Dorothy was a devout Catholic who attended St. Michaels Parish. Her faith was an important part of her everyday life. Dorothy's purpose in life was to support and love her family unconditionally. Her home was her palace and she took great pride in taking care of her family. She touched everyone with her sense of humor and quick wit. She was gracious and thankful for all of life's blessings. Dorothy was beautiful inside and out.

The family would like to thank Bethany Nursing Home, Dr. Baum, the Baum family and staff for their love and compassion for Dorothy. Her presence here on earth was a gift we will always treasure and be thankful for. Please help us celebrate her life and her legacy.
