Dorothy was a simple lady who loved with her whole heart expecting nothing in return. As the years caught up with her and she became more fragile, she never complained, but rather enjoyed being spoiled from the youngest member of the family to the oldest. 

She loved her Hallmark Christmas movies and watched them from July to December. She never outgrew her love or excitement for birthdays, Christmases, Easters, chocolate, coffee, Barq's Root Beer, doing crafts, telling her stories of day gone by and Elvis Presley. 

Dorothy was a devout believer and no matter the challenges she faced, her faith never wavered and hope in Christ never weakened. The legacy she leaves behind is one of strength and one of courage. There is no doubt in the minds of those that love her that she heard the words "Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy Lord."
