She was raised in California, Mississippi, and Arkansas, and then lived in California for fourteen years. She later moved to Lebanon, Missouri and made her home. She was a devoted homemaker throughout the years.
She enjoyed shopping at Wal Mart and liked doing needle work projects. She enjoyed doing word search puzzles and watching movies, particularly westerns. She dearly loved babies and had a special knack for taking care of them. Dorothy looked forward to family get-togethers and was famous for her deviled eggs that she would bring to each family event. She loved Christmas and was like a kid herself during the holiday season. She was sweet and lovable and had a delightful personality. Her nieces and nephews always called her “Mama Dorothy”.
Dorothy was a loving sister, aunt, and a caring neighbor and friend. We celebrate her life and know that her family and friends will cherish the wonderful memories she created for them during her lifetime.
A memorial has been established to Laclede Industries and contributions may be made through the funeral home.
