They raised their children in Orem, Utah and were able to enjoy traveling to other countries and throughout the United States. They loved exploring new places and eventually retired in Torrey. They loved the simple life a small town brought and enjoyed camping with loved ones, hunting and fishing. While in Torrey Dorothy created lifelong friendships and loved working in her friend's green house where she grew a passion for plants.

Dorothy enjoyed spending her time reading and doing all kinds of puzzles. She had a love for the outdoors and enjoyed painting and drawing.

Dorothy was a soft spoken, generous and kind soul. Wherever she went she brought light and love to those around her. She was supportive of her children and grandchildren and they always felt her love for them. She loved music and listening to others play instruments for her. Dorothy also loved to play and win at Bingo and watch old movies.
During the last few years of her life, she resided in Spring Gardens Assisted Living, where she was able to create even more lasting friendships and touch other’s lives in so many ways.
