Dorothy, known by her friends and family as Dottie, had many interests. She was an accomplished bookkeeper, she enjoyed traveling, was a voracious book reader and avid shopper, but without a doubt her family was her greatest passion second only to her love for Jesus Christ. She was a loving wife and mother, and an excellent homemaker. She brought her children and grandchildren up in the admonition of the Lord Jesus Christ, using her knowledge of the Bible as a guide, and praying us through challenging times.
