Her interests were simple yet profound. Dorothy loved her neighbors and never met a stranger. Her presence was a source of happiness and comfort to those around her. She had a unique ability to make everyone feel at home, and her caring nature was felt by all who crossed her path.

Dorothy's legacy is one of love and kindness. She was the embodiment of selflessness, always putting others before herself. Her memory will be cherished by her family, including her son, daughter, several nieces, and nephews, and the countless friends who were blessed to know her.
