Following in the footsteps of her father, she joined the US Army Reserves and served until she was honorably discharged on April 17, 1988. She was awarded the Army Achievement Medal on May 25, 1982. Dorothy was employed by Beechcraft in Wichita, KS and retired from that company.
Family was very important to Dorothy. She maintained a close and caring relationship with her parents until their death. Nieces and nephews remember Dorothy fondly as the "greatest Aunt" taking them on outings such as movies, amusement parks, and visits to nearby lakes.

Josie Gilligan lives in New York with her husband, sons, and grandchildren. Gloria Crain lives in Wichita with her husband.

I´m sorry to learn of Dorothy´s passing this month. We graduated together from Derby High School long ago, and she stayed in touch with news of our classmates through these years. Rest in peace, dear classmate.
