Dorothy was so sweet! She next at the table next to my dad, Walter. One Valentine’s Day, I bought her IMO’s pizza for lunch along with a beer! She got such a kick out of that. (She only drank half that beer).

I have many, fond memories of growing up with Aunt Dorothy. As I got older I learned to appreciate what an incredibly strong woman she was to have gone through so much at such a young age. After we moved away, trips back home to Belleville always included enjoying time with her and catching up on all the latest news both locally and nationally. It always amazed me how current she stayed on events/topics even last year at her 100th party. And I loved how much she loved her Cardinals! Reminds me of my dad. Love you Aunt Dorothy, you will be missed. Rest in peace.❤️❤️
