Dale and Dorothy were fabulous neighbors for years. Both were so kind and helpful to everyone. Dorothy will be forever remembered on our cul-de-sac for the huge garage sales she and her sisters ran every year. Our condolences to her huge extended family. RIP

"Dort" as some would call her was part of my earliest memories. Her smile was on the sly side which said "You can't hide anything from me!".
Sorry for all of our loss...
