She moved to Paso Robles with her family in 1963 where she raised her six children and ran her antique shop and later a picture framing business. She had a deep affection for her family, Paso Robles, theater, performing arts and all things patriotic. She was a gifted artist and poet. Dorothy ran the spotlight for many years for Pioneer Players as well as other theater and performing arts groups and was nicknamed “Dot the Spot.” She was Roblan of the Month September of 2010, a Campfire Girls leader, loved baseball and always had a crossword puzzle book close at hand.
