Dorie loved cheering on the Dodgers, watching The Price Is Right, working on crossword puzzles, tending to her garden, spending time outdoors- she loved her morning walks, and sharing trips to the casino with her sister Angie. She enjoyed listening to her record collection, especially during Christmastime when music filled her home.

She will be remembered for her laughter, her love, and her unwavering devotion to her family. She will be deeply missed, forever loved, and never forgotten.
