Prior to her five hip surgeries, Dorothy loved to square dance. She thrived on talking and visiting with friends. She always thought of the people she cared about, creating small homemade gifts to demonstrate it. Organization was something Dorothy always enjoyed doing, with her exceptional mind/memory supporting all projects. Dorothy always enjoyed writing and staying in contact with people through cards and letters. She cared about people and "Her family was her life."
