Dorothy served for four years as an Army Nurse in WWII, caring for our troops fighting in Africa and Italy.

Always welcoming friends with open arms, loads of good food, music, and happiness, she and Mel created a wonderful home and family. Dorothy will be remembered and missed by so many people whose lives she touched.
