Dorothy attended Basic High School; she was bright and beautiful, graduating as Salutatorian, serving as Prom Queen, and achieving the finals for Miss Henderson in 1948. She will be most fondly remembered as the best mother in the world. Dorothy enjoyed reading, scrabble, crossword puzzles and old movies, which she could recite by memory. She was an avid bridge player, playing with the same group of friends for over 60 years.
