Dorothy was loved by all who were lucky enough to know her. Her kindness, generosity and dedication were boundless. She worked for 33 years for the U.S. Postal Service as a clerk in Morris, Williamsport and Wellsboro. She made a lasting impression on the youth community while working with them through 4-H, Girl Scouts/Cub Scouts, initiating the first group of Red Robbin baton twirlers and local Sunday School programs in Morris, PA.

Dorothy and Charles also supported Habitat for Humanity, assisting in the building of two homes.
