Dorothy “Dot” enjoyed her retirement. Her favorite pastime/hobby was crocheting afghans, which she gifted to everyone she knew. She also donated her crafts to worthy causes and enjoyed sharing her beautiful blankets with everyone. She crocheted right up until she passed. She also wrote in her diary every day of her life and enjoyed reminiscing about days gone by.

Per Dorothy’s final wishes, there will be no calling hours or services.
