Big Doll enjoyed being the “Bell of the Ball”, and loved her Country Line Dancing. She also enjoyed spending time with her family and friends. In addition to, she enjoyed portraying “Marilyn Monroe” as a fun side act. Big Doll’s most precious accomplishment was being an Officers Wife and being married for 49 years to the love of her life to the “General”. She will truly be missed by all.
