Family and Friends were of great importance to Dorothy. There was always a great meal and a clean bed at her home. She loved to dance, square dancing and round dancing for many years. She was an active member of St. Stephen’s Anglican Church in Swift Current, involved in the alter guild, singing in the choir, and other church activities.
