I will miss my big hugs whenever I went and visited Dorothy. She was a sweetheart and I will miss her sitting on her porch when I went to the farm.
Grandma was loved much and will be dearly missed. 💗

Growing up, Dorothy and Chester were like surrogate parents. The kids like siblings. It is with great sorrow I was told of her passing. My deepest condolences to Barbara, Sarah, Mary and Chet as well as their children, grandchildren and great grand children.
