To this union, three children were born. In November of this year, Dorothy and Allen would have celebrated 62 years together. Dorothy enjoyed spending time bowling, drawing, painting, sewing, crocheting, reading, going for drives and playing cards. But most of all she enjoyed playing her guitar and singing. She was well known for her love of baking and always made sure no one ever left her house hungry. Dorothy always had a smile on her face and much laughter to share.
