Dot retired after many dedicated years with PNC Bank. She enjoyed all kinds of crafting, especially painting and quilting, and lovingly shared her handmade creations, often gifting quilts to welcome new babies. A talented musician, she also played the organ. Dot cherished day trips and small adventures with her siblings and her husband, John, many taken simply for the joy of the ride and the pleasure of being together. Though her memory faded in recent years, she still found comfort and happiness in crafting during her time at Woodside, a reflection of how deeply that passion was part of who she was.
