Her culinary skills were not just a profession, but a true love, and she often found joy in preparing meals for those she cared about.  Her home was a place of warmth, and she was known for her nurturing spirit and her love of caring for others. Dorothy's greatest joy was being with her family and friends, she will be greatly missed for her unwavering love, her caring nature, and the special way she touched everyone around her.
