The event planner, the match maker, the lover of life, people and family. She loved her trips to her home on Anna Maria Island. Dad and her for years, recording motel, gas costs and mileage/ day. Dorothy had just returned in April from her winter on Anna Maria Island. Where she hosted one of her famous pot lucks. She was no ordinary “Almost 90 year old”. She told us this winter she tried to be almost 90, but got bored! She was kind and interested in everyone, loved a good laugh (With head back!) Loved music (Elbows up!) Good food, swimming in the ocean…friends were family, family were friends. Dorothy started life riding a horse to school, ending with her toes in the sand. There was adversity in her life, but she always chose to see the brighter side. There was so much that we all learned from this wonderful lady, we won’t ever forget her.
