Dorothy was a devoted wife and mother. For many years, she assisted her husband, Louie with his State Farm Agency. Dorothy and Lou shared a love of God, long walks and clothes and car shopping.

Dorothy faithfully served as a Confraternity of Christian Doctrine (CCD) teacher and Eucharistic Minister for the aged.
Dorothy was an avid reader who instilled the love of reading in her children. She had a fun-loving personality, ready wit and impeccable grammar. She was an accomplished cook and soup virtuoso. Dorothy enjoyed a loving, mutually respectful relationship with her children, sharing ideas, advice and laughter.
