Dorothy led an active life. She was always engaged with church, family, and community. She loved sewing, embroidery, baking, and trying new recipes. Dorothy loved travel, enjoying trips to Hawaii, the Panama Canal, Europe, and Alaska. She had a vast memory of song lyrics and loved to sing. She enjoyed cribbage, crossword puzzles, Scrabble, The Jumble, and Bingo. Her humor kept everyone on their toes, and will be remembered with a smile.
