Such a privilege and blessing to know Dorothy. I met her through the C.A.R.E. Pregnancy Center in Salem IN, and she was such an encouragement to me in that ministry. Love and prayers to her family.

Dorothy always had a million dollar smile for you. I would run into her with Donna and Dorinda at Garcia's Mexican Restaurant at lunch and we get in a quick chat. This earth is only temporary and she has traveled on to her heavenly home where we can see her again someday. May God bless and comfort you, her family, during this time of loss.

How my heart saddened for this world when I saw this. What a treasure, what a blessing to all who knew her or just met her. But how my heart rejoices for dear sweet Dorothy!! I can see her beautiful smile as her face is glowing as she finally sees her Lord and Savior face to face. She is a dear lady I will always remember and look forward to seeing again. Love to you all

What a treasure you were at Zoah Dorothy. You will be sorely missed. I am blessed to have spent time with you in Sunday School, morning worship and especially Ladies Bible Studies. I will always appreciate your godly wisdom. Deepest sympathy to the entire family. What a legacy Dorothy left through each one of you.
In Memoriam
