My Heart is broken. Aunt Dottie was and will always be the epitome of a loving, caring and giving Sister, Wife, Mother, Grandmother, Aunt and more.
She always gave herself and her love to those who were a part of her whole family and as much to those who were not, in other words she was there for Everyone! The loss of her is immense. I miss you so much already! Rest in peace Dear, Sweet, Aunt Dottie!
My condolences she was a great person I know she will be deeply missed by her family and anyone that knew her my prayers to the family
If I think of my childhood….any part of my childhood…Aunt Dottie comes first. She was always there. My family moved from CA when I was young and the family I knew as my own was this one. Bonfires, sleepovers, horses, knitting Barbie clothes ….so many memories! Dawn, Denise….my whole heart is with you today! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
So sorry to hear this. Prayers and hugs to you all.
Denise,
Matt and I were sorry to learn of the passing of your mother. I remember her coming to some cross country meets to support Aaron and Andrew and I enjoyed meeting and talking to her. We wish you, Dave, and the boys peace over the coming days and months ahead.
Sincerely,
Sondra Woods
So sorry to hear of Dot passing. She will be missed.
My deepest condolences to everyone, she truly will be missed by her family. She was a very talented woman. Sorry I will miss the service as I am in South Carolina.
I will always fondly remember Dot as a true friend. We used to Quilt shop go about once a month with our other friend Shirley. That was so much fun.
I always admired her connection and dedication to her family. She was involved in all of their lives and did so much for them.
Rest in Peace my dear friend. I will miss you.
Sorry to hear of Dot’s passing. As a classmate I remember her always smiling and always friendly. My sympathies to her living family
