She was an avid gardener and loved taking long walks with her beloved dog, Nikko. Dorothy also took pleasure in playing Bridge with many different groups over the years. Most of all, she was a devoted homemaker for her large family. Dorothy was a proud member of Fidelis Chapter No. 99, of the Order of the Eastern Star for which she once served as Worthy Matron.
