Dorothy was a quiet natured, kind and gentle person and very family oriented. She was always interested in attending the family gatherings. Within her family she was known for her delicious homemade chocolate and coconut cream pies. When a short trip was mentioned, she was ready at a moments notice. However, she was very emphatic to say she didn't want an overnight trip, and seldom did she take one.
Dorothy maintained a high level of physical activity into her late 80's, taking particular enjoyment in her hobby of collecting shoes. The collection contains all sizes; some made of wood, metal, glass, porcelain and other materials. Her collection was started in 1936, with a shoe given to Dorothy by her mother who received it as a wedding gift in 1908. Many of the shoes were gifts given by family members. A number of the shoes were given by her three brothers, who served in different areas of operations, during World War II. The collection now has an accumulation of over 1400 shoes. Her other pastimes were playing cards, working crossword and box puzzles. Family members were always welcomed in this entertainment, which she approached with much fervor.
Dorothy lived her long healthy life well. She was always available to meet the needs of her family members. Truly, she was a unique and remarkable lady. Aunt Dot, we will miss you.
Dorothy's collection of shoes will be permanently maintained at the Pine Bluff/ Jefferson County Historical Museum.
