Dorothy was a devoted wife, mother and grandmother and enjoyed life to the fullest. She loved to play cards, crochet, go for long walks, picking flowers along the way and shopping for the best deal . Cooking and entertaining for her family always gave her such pleasure. She was an avid reader who always kept a sharp mind doing daily crossword puzzles.
