Dorothy was one of the most fun
loving persons that I ever met. I had the opportunity to work with Dot at Teledyne Hastings Raydist in the mid seventies. What a great person she was and will be missed by many. Go in peace Dot, we will meet again. Richard Dawes dawes1@cox.net |

| I was so sorry to hear about the passing of Dot. I will miss her wit and humor. She was so much fun to work with at HREA. She had a great love for life and for her family. We loved all the stories about her girls and her grandchildren and let me not forget all the Max stories. I will miss her but I know she is with her Joe again smiling |

| I worked with Dot back in the good ol' days at the Main Street office of HREA. We had many laughs together about the girls and the grandbabies. I always looked forward to seeing little miss Julia when she came to visit her grandma. Dot will truly be missed. My thoughts and prayers are with the family. |

| I lived on 22nd St. in Newport News when Dot’s family moved in the big white house two doors down from mine. She was the prettiest girl in town and I started making eyes at her right away. I remember swinging with her on her front porch, holding hands, my first kiss, a party at her house where we played spin-the-bottle, and she talked me into taking my first roller coaster ride at Buckroe Beach Amusement Park. All of this was around the ripe old age of 12. Dorothy was in my graduating class of 1961 from Newport News High School. I was saddened to hear of her passing. |
