She enjoyed going to yard sales and on occasion, she would have one of her own. Another one of her enjoyed past times, was fishing with the grandkids.
Besides the Lord, Dottie’s greatest love was for her family. It was a special time for her when family gathered for holiday meals. She enjoyed cooking and, for sure, everyone enjoyed eating her cooking. She liked cookouts and playing horse shoes. Although, she converted to cornhole the last few years.
Dottie was a kind, caring, loving and patient person who helped a lot of people in her life. She will be missed but her memories will always be in our hearts.
