Dorothy grew up and attended school in Jeff Davis County. She was a member of Bennett Tabernacle Holiness church. She enjoyed sewing, gardening, crocheting, helping others, most importantly spending time with her family.
She worked at several businesses in Hazlehurst, Glenville Lingerie and Ero, for several years before becoming a home healthcare provider.
