She graduated from West Frankfort High School before moving to St. Louis, Missouri, where she attended Washington University. She and her husband moved many times during their 58-year marriage, residing in Tennessee, Arkansas, Ohio, Iowa, Minnesota, New Jersey, Kansas, Texas, Florida, before retiring back in Texas. While in New Jersey, she lived for 15 years in Summit and was a member of Christ Church as well as the Fortnightly Club. From 1981 until moving to Houston 2 1 1/2 years ago, she lived in Dallas and was a dedicated member of the Eastminster Presbyterian Church. Dorothy, a stay-at-home wife and mother, who along with her duties as PTA president, Girl Scout leader, and Cub Scout leader, was most importantly the chief household chef, chauffeur, cleaning lady, finance manager, psychologist, nurse, seamstress, and perfect role model for her children.
