My condolences to the Kinney family. Dorothy was a wonderful lady. She was my bus driver for many years. I will always remember her bringing us home with her if our mom wasn't home after school and we'd play games and swing on the swing set. I will never forget her kindness. I find comfort knowing she's in heaven watching over all of us. She will be missed by so many.

Marjorie,

I send my deepest sympathy to you for the loss of your mother. I remember her well during our years growing up together. Kind, gentle and always involved in Bondurant youth activities. See will be missed.

Your classmate and friend,

Chris Fenimore

Grandma Kinney's grounded sense and gentle strength lives on in her children and grandchildren, of whom she was so proud. Her unconditional love and kind spirit always warmed the room. She left a legacy of love for her family. We will miss her.
