Dorothy had a kind heart and sweet spirit. She was always thinking about her children and their families, keeping up on all the activities they were involved in. She loved to garden and keep up on her beautiful yard. She had quite the “green thumb.” She enjoyed being outdoors, fishing and picking asparagus. One of her favorite times of year was fall, where she would watch the leaves change color. She enjoyed embroidering and doing crafts. She also loved to go on rides and especially enjoyed her sweets. She was very active throughout her life; you would often see her out walking. Above all, she enjoyed spending time with her children and grandchildren; they were truly the light of her life.
