Dorothy was a great friend and my Cribbage opponent for years. My husband really loved Dorothy’s spunky nature as well. My love goes to Randy and the rest of the family. Dorothy will be missed!

I feel so blessed to have known you in the workplace and outside the workplace. I loved our conversations we’d have about work, life, kids, etc. but I’ll especially miss that beautiful smile you’d always have! Rest in peace my friend…until we meet again!

I’ve missed seeing Dottie at family events for the past couple of years and sad to know she’s gone. She was a good person, nice friend.

Dorothy and I graduated together from Lansing Everett High School in 1956. I also knew her husband, Bob Croyle, from JD Dairy Bar where all the hip kids hung out Smile! She will be missed.
