Dottie and I worked together at Comcast. I remember her dancing with her husband at company functions- smiling and dancing. I like to remember her that way. God Bless you family.

I had the absolute honor of meeting Dottie as her caretaker. I understand that I didn’t meet the Dottie everyone else knew but I had a tremendous bond with her quickly. She would smile no matter what. She loved music and we listened to it everyday as I called her Dottie Jean my dancing queen. Forever in my heart.

I worked with Dottie at State Farm insurance co. In Springfield, PA. in the early 70’s. We became friends
Immediately. Dottie was easy to like and she always had time for a friend. She had a wonderful sense of
humor and could always make you laugh. She was a beautiful person inside and out. Her family and pets
we’re her pride and joy she loved sharing pictures of them with her friends. I will miss her Christmas cards
with her uplifting travel and family stories of the year. A truly caring person who would want her family to
be happy and feel joy in the memories of time spent with her . Gary, Daena and Denae may God bring you
peace and comfort at this time of sadness. You are all in my prayers.
