I worked for Dorothy’s husband years ago, & my husband & I became friends with them. We were welcomed into their beautiful homes for parties, etc. Dorothy was a vivacious, fun loving & lovely lady with a sparkle in her eyes, a smile on her face, & a positive outlook on life. Being in her presence was always warm & wonderful. I have missed her for many years. We offer our sincere sympathy to her family. Dorothy will remain in our hearts & memories forever.
I had the pleasure of golfing with Dottie on the Weds. Night Fun League at Whispering Pines. She always had stories for us and many helpful golf tips too! She was a funny lady and will be missed.
