She loved to garden, sew, crochet, read and collect cookbooks, make quilts and SHOP! She served in the LDS church in many positions throughout her life. She was a kind and generous person and loved to help people. But, her family was the most important thing to her. Dorothy's pride and joy were her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren.
