Dorothy was a long-time member of St. Paul Parish and community. Her greatest joy was being surrounded by her family. She was a full-time Mother and homemaker and took great joy in cooking, sewing, crafting and taking care of everyone in a multitude of ways. She was a very social lady and was always ready to go – shopping, out to eat, or anywhere with anyone at any time. She also enjoyed her garden while relaxing on the porch and watching her birds. She was loved by all and will be terribly missed by those who knew her.
