Dorothy loved to read and travel. As a family, they visited almost every state, as well as Canada, Mexico, and the Caribbean. Her favorite place in the world, however, was Hawaii. They vacationed there so many times they lost track of how often they visited.

She is survived by 7 great-grandchildren: Lila Michaela, Wyatt, Courtney & Remington, Miranda, Kiara and Enzo.
