Dorothy retired as a Bookkeeper for New York Magazine in New York City. She previously worked as a Telephone Operator/Supervisor for AT&T. Family was the most important thing to Dorothy and taking care of them brought her an enormous amount of gratification and pride. Spending time with her eight grandchildren and three great grandchildren was precious to her. Dorothy was an extremely talented artist and she expressed her talent through painting and drawing. Dorothy was an avid bird lover and she loved watching them as they fed at the feeders she had in her yard. She was a history buff and loved learning anything historical about the world. More than anything, Dorothy loved to spend time with friends and family.
