Dorothy also is survived by two sisters, Roberta Rouviere of Chandler, Arizona, and Shirley Sargeant of Columbus, Ohio; a daughter-in-law, Carol Burrows of Windsor Locks; and many nieces and nephews. In addition to her husband, she was also predeceased by a son, Barry Burrows; six brothers, Herbert, Henry, Duane, Homer, Sherwood, and John Sargeant; and three sisters, Mary Bashaw, Mae Goodrich and Patricia Whitman.
