Always a stern beauty, Dorothy was also a skilled artist, an avid reader, a well-accomplished shopper, a former nationally ranked dog handler, and, along with Dennis, a former owner of Howie Glass Co. and Purple Frog Ceramics. Dorothy loved her family, dogs, diamonds, and Cadillacs. May she rest in peace.
