Dorothy spent 45 wonderful years with her husband Marion, before he passed in 1997. They had four children together Debbie, Linda, Kenneth, and Kevin.
Dorothy was passionate about movies and went to the theater as often as she could. She was an avid baker and was known for making Christmas cookies and personalized birthday cakes for her family and neighbors. She worked at Miss Elaine for several years as a seamstress.
She is preceded in death by her parents Henry and Verdie Powell, husband Marion Yates, daughter Debbie Hosp, brother Robert Powell, son-in-law Roger Cook, and her beloved friend Tim Moriarty.
She is survived by her children Linda Cook, Kenneth Yates, Kevin Yates, son-in-law Jim Hosp, grandchildren Melanie Mitchell (William), Stacie Lane, Erik (Natalie), Taylor, and Travis Yates, great-grandchildren Jacob, Ben, Thomas, and Eleanor Mitchell, Abbie Foss, and Jaxon Yates, siblings Alice Meadows (Sonny), Joyce Powell, sister-in-law Babe Powell, along with numerous nieces and nephews.
Dorothy was an incredibly compassionate and giving person; she will be dearly missed by all who knew her.
