Dorothy Walker, of Hicksville, died suddenly. She was 88.
During her lifetime, Dorothy wore many hats. She started her professional career at the Journal American, and continued on to work in accounting and estate law. Her love of music translated well to the dance floor, where she was an avid ballroom dancer.
