Dorothy created a women’s bible study that met once a week in her home almost a decade ago. These women became like a second family.

You will remember her best if you received a carefully wrapped package of her cinnamon buns for either being sick, or had a death in your family, or because she was thinking of you. She also was prompt on sending cards for various occasions.

Alvin and Dorothy enjoyed their last few years together in the comfort of their home with family and friends.
