Dorothy was born in West Lynne (Emerson) the second youngest of nine children and resided in Emerson most of her life. She married Howard on February 20, 1947. She worked at the local grocery store for many years. They adopted their only child in 1958. Dorothy liked to travel especially to see family in California, North Carolina and Alberta. She really enjoyed her trip to Alaska with Albert. She liked to curl, play cards, do jigsaw puzzles, make doilies, attend church, go to movies and visit with people.
