Dorothy was born in Bloomfield, Nebraska but was raised in St. Louis, Missouri. Growing up, she had four brothers and a dog named Zipper. Her career entailed being a flight attendant for Delta Airlines. She raised four wonderful children and has two fabulous grandchildren. Dorothy was also a housewife until the children were in High School and then she worked retail in a health food store and a children’s clothing store. The events in history that she remembers well are: The invention of color TV, the microwave oven, and the JFK assassination. The biggest accomplishment in her life was raising her children. Dorothy feels like you should always keep a positive attitude and a smile on your face. She also feels that you should spend time with your children because they grow up too fast.
