Dorothy was a very loving and devoted wife, mother, grandma, mawmaw, and nanny as she fought a long, hard battle with cancer. She always made sure her family came first, always thinking of others before herself. She taught us all what it was to be loved and loved unconditionally. She was a fighter, a strong willed lady, and her and her husband had a love strong like no other. They were always each other’s co-pilot, and their love was straight out of a fairy tale. Dale never left her side during her battle with cancer which she fought to the very end. She loved to travel as she did often, with all of her family following behind her as her and her husband led the way. She will always be forever loved by her family and friends.
