Dottie enjoyed time with her family and friends. She loved going out to lunch and dinner. She loved a glass of wine or maybe two. Once she had her spirits, she would fill the room with her infectious and contagious laugh. Soon everyone would be filled with laughter and happiness. Her smile would light up any darkness.

In Dottie’s final years, she enjoyed her time and care in the Lynn Home for Elderly Persons. She really enjoyed playing Bingo. Her family would like to thank them for their loving attention to her needs. They would also like to especially thank Sue and Chelsea.
