Ranching, at the start of the Great Depression, was unprofitable, so she and her brother sold out and moved to San Pedro, Ca where they had an aunt. Dorothy went to work as a mother's helper so that she could finish her education. Shortly after graduation, she married Sky Stevens and they moved to Colfax, Ca where his parents lived. They had a small farm with a cow, pigs, chickens a big vegetable garden and fruit trees which helped them weather the depression.
Sky and Dorothy bought an old two story house (known as the haunted house), on three acres with a live stream running the length of it. They adopted two children, Veva and Gail. Sky and Dorothy divorced in 1959. Dorothy went to work at Weimar Medical Center, first as a diet aide then as Food Production Manager. She and Everett Holsclaw were married in 1972 and they traveled extensively for many years. They especially enjoyed fishing and dancing.
Dorothy is pre-deceased by her brother, Clyde and her husband Everett.
Survivors include daughter; son; grandchildren and last but not least four precious great grand children.
