Dot retired from PPG in 1995, where she met many nice people, she was a member of Curry Town Baptist Church where she was a Sunday school teacher, and a member of the adult choir. God, her family and her church was the love of her life. She loved people and doing things for others was her joy. Dot had many hobbies; she spent a considerable time in her yard developing areas with a variety of plants and trees, but the dogwood was her favorite of all trees. Dorothy also developed the gift of creating custom greeting cards to share her love of Christ and encouragement with others.

“ My dear family, don’t cry, just make sure without a doubt that you are saved, and we will be together for ever one day. There is nothing or nobody worth losing the glories of Heaven.”
