Dorothy was spirited, stubborn, and never had a problem telling you how she really felt. She was mischievous and loved trying to "pull the leg" of anyone.

She loved her family and will always be remembered as our "Little Grandma Dot"

Dorothy went to walk with our Lord on October 7th 2024 peacefully in Centralia Washington. Details on a Celebration of Life will follow. Hug your loved ones at every opportunity, for in this world tomorrow is never promised and those we care for are forever in our hearts. Heaven has gained another Angel this day. She is probably sticking her tongue out.
