A woman of many talents and a true perfectionist by nature, Dorothy was admired for her honesty, warmth, and talkative, happy demeanor.

Her work ethic was matched only by the loving care she extended to those around her.

Outside of her career, Dorothy’s passions were many. She took great pleasure in bowling and shopping, filling her days with laughter and movement.

She also leaves behind siblings Lynette Reed and Chris Weaver; a devoted brother-in-law, Benny Bourgeois; a close and treasured friend, Dora Parker; as well as a multitude of nieces, nephews, cousins, and many other relatives and friends who held her in high regard.
