Dorothy had a great zest for life. She was a woman that could make anyone smile and her laugh was contagious. Dorothy was a huge St. Louis Cardinals Baseball fan. She loved watching sports and went to many of her grandchildren’s sporting events. Dorothy was very family oriented and cherished all the moments spent with her family, especially her grandchildren and great grandchildren. There was always a “party” at her house when her grandchildren and great grandchildren came to visit. Dorothy was a very loving and devoted wife, mother, grandmother and great grandmother who never met a stranger. She was dearly loved and will be greatly missed by all who knew her.
