Dorothy had a Strong and Humble Spirit, with an Unwavering Love for Family & Friends. She adored her daughters, her son in-laws who she considered her sons, and her granddaughters. She served as a dedicated President of the Ramsey-Washington Hamilton Reunion Chapter for numerous years.

If there was ever a need she was always there to give care without reservations.

She loved living life and having fun. She enjoyed various genres of music, dancing, singing, and she found peace in cooking.
