After losing her husband Herbert Holub in 1968, Dorothy met and married Ray Brookshire in 1977. She lived the last years of her life at the Cedar Manor Nursing and Rehabilitation where she was surrounded by people who cared for her.

On the drives her daughter Gloria and she took, Dorothy always wanted to visit her church, “The Heights”, and cruise River Drive. She never tired of seeing the places she loved and missed.

She was preceded in death by Ray Brookshire, her daughter Sandra Lewis and her son Bobby Holub. She is survived by her daughter Gloria and son in-law Gerald Jones; son Mark Holub; a sister Joyce Marshall from Amarillo, TX; one brother, Virgil Thompson of Tomball, TX; and numerous grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
