Dorothy was a member of Glen Burnie Methodist Church, where she taught Sunday school in her earlier years. Her kindness and grace touched all aspects of her life and the lives of those around her.

Her positive attitude was infectious, and her clever humor brought laughter and light into the lives of all who knew her. She had a unique way of finding joy and could turn any moment into a cherished memory with her wit and warmth.

Dorothy's love for romantic comedies knew no bounds, often filling the room with laughter as she watched her favorite films like James Stewart in "Harvey" and Cary Grant in "Arsenic and Old Lace" at full volume.

Dorothy's ashes will be laid to rest beside her husband in Loudon Park Cemetery, a place she held dear in her heart.

Rest in peace, dear Dorothy. You have left this world better than you found it, and your presence will forever be missed.
