Cigarettes and salt were close seconds to her love for her family! A two-three pack a day smoker for 65 years, an inveterate salt user up until the day she died, Dot’s cravings highlighted her devil may care personality. Then there was her longing to travel. Dot could be packed and ready to go at a moment’s notice. In fact the day before she passed away, she talked about going on an African Safari. Even with oxygen 24/7, she was sure she could make the trip. Dorothy was feisty, irreverent and always the life of the party. Of course she will be missed, but her stories will live on forever in the hearts and memories of her family and friends. At this point in time Dorothy joins her beloved son-in-law Mark Brown and husbands Henry and Sollie. As she embarks on her final journey we bid her so long, farewell, auf wiedershen, adieu.
