Dora was born and raised in Williamson County and graduated from high school in Jarrell, Texas. She graduated as an RN from Seton Nursing School and retired from Seton Hospital after a lifetime of service to others.

We will always remember her sweet disposition, thankful heart, and tireless love and care for us.
