Dorothy E. Puckett

She was born December 6, 1924 in Pickaway County, the daughter of the late Daniel and Edna (Valentine) Hinton. Dorothy was a member of Community United Methodist Church and had volunteered for the American Cancer Society.

Dorothy and her husband Delbert were known far and wide for the great burgers, shakes and fries they served and the many memories that were made at their restaurant, The Hamburger Inn, in Circleville.

Dorothy was also preceded in death by her brother Herschel Hinton; sisters Kathleen Davenport and Bernadine Grego; and brother-in-law Hubert Puckett. She is survived by niece and guardian Joan (Joe) Kennedy of Ashville; niece Sue Ann (Ed) Herendeen of Shepherdstown, WV; and nephews Steven (Cindy) Puckett of Columbus, Carey Grego of Martins Ferry, OH and Steven Grego of Phoenix, AZ.
