Great picture of Dorthy and she looks so much like her mother. Dorothy was on special gal and our family thought the world of her. She had such a wonderful smile and laugh and her eyes reflected her great loving spirit she had for others. We loved it when she would come over which was not often enough for us. I chuckle about the work passion she has and quite a repertoire of careers. I always had a special place for Dorothy, something very special about her. Rest in peace Dorothy.

Dear Digger, Michele and Family, Dave and I are deeply saddened for the loss of Dorothy. We will greatly miss her, her smile, laughs, warm hugs. I (Cheryl) will always remember her introducing me to "Big Orange" as I called that bowling ball, and brought me into the world of bowling on the ladies bowling league. I will remember our "Retail in Philip"chats and also for her and Digger giving me a place to board my 2 horses. May God's warmth, and compassion be with you as you mourn her passing. Love you Dorothy!

What a lady! She never faltered no matter how bad she might be feeling. She always greeted you with a smile and was always happy to see you. Now it is her turn. When the angels saw her coming they were all smiling a greeting. She is home now with the rest of the angels. It was such a privilege to call her a friend. Rest in peace Dorothy, you have earned it!

Dorothy made your day brighter and left you feeling like you mattered to her-because you DID. Never complaining, she put her problems on the back burner to make sure you were doing alright dealing with your own! There was no place else my boys wanted to eat, she knew their preferences like they were family! Smart as a whip; the hardest working woman I've ever seen. Loved to see her sit down and visit with the bowlers, or run Hootch down to the lanes. Made me laugh every time. She was the real deal. Bless you and your kind heart, Dorothy! Miss you. Rest and good health are yours.
