I will remember Dottie for her talented gift of painting and drawing. Several winters ago she gave me a picture she had completed with watercolors of the mountains and our fall aspens, proudly signed by the artist. To this day it is prominently displayed in my dining room. Dottie was a wealth of knowledge and it was wonderful listening to her experiences raising 3 sons on her own and how she managed to support them. She is surely missed.

As a caseworker for Silver Key I
have known Dorothy for many years.
I retired in 2001 but have always remembered Dorothy as a very intelligent hard working resourceful person. Her sons will miss her.
