Dottie worked as a Respiratory Therapist for Flower Hospital for over 30 years before retiring in the early 2000’s. She enjoyed painting, camping, softball and dancing, and looked forward to family and friends’ gathering where she could enjoy them. She really loved these times together. One of her true loves was cheering for The Ohio State Buckeyes, she LOVED them. She was a die heart FAN, and nothing was going to stop her from supporting her favorite team. When the game was on don’t call her, don’t come over, DO NO DISTURB her, or you were gonna hear about it.

Aunt Dot was funny, kindhearted, and resilient and to the point. She didn’t hold her tongue and told it like it was. She commanded respect because she believed she earned it.
