Dorothy was a beautiful lady and will be missed more than she could imagine by family and friends. She was so active and always on the go and I often wondered where she got her energy. I had the HONOR of working with at one of the polling places. She was going before the polls opened and long after they closed. I was honored to call her my aunt.
She will be missed but we know where she is and know she LOVES where she is.
GOD BLESS TO HER FAMILY.

My sister, Dorothy, lived a life of service, all of her life and she was an inspiration to me and many others, every step of the way. The world feels different without her in it, but Heaven is sweeter because she is there. She is happy and whole, and I have so many special memories! Rest in peace now. What a great reunion in the sweet by and by! Love you forever.
