Dorothy Burton

May 25, 1939 ~ August 8, 2021



I was born May 25, 1939 at the McKay-Dee Hospital in Ogden, Utah. I attended Layton Elementary until the age of eleven, when my father moved our family to Ogden. I attended schools in Weber County and graduated from Weber County High School in 1957. I then went on to complete 3 years at Weber State College and two years at Hollywood Beauty College, graduating from there in 1974.

I worked for the Internal Revenue from 1958 to 1959. I then transferred to Defense Depot Ogden and worked as a clerk typist. I served a Mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day-Saints in 1962 serving in Great Britain.

I was married in 1968 in the Salt Lake Temple, we were later divorced. I then moved to Davis County and resided there until now.

I have two wonderful daughters and 10 grandchildren who have been the light of my life. My daughters are Rebecca (Troy) Dunyon and Amanda (Stephen) Yardley.
