Dorothy was a homemaker and also helped her husband with farming duties. She was often in the fields and during harvest, hauled truck loads of grain to Handy Feed and Grain in Millstadt, Illinois. She also loved to sew and was an avid furniture refinisher. She loved to go to local auctions, purchasing antiques that had seen better days, restoring them to beautiful pieces, many of which remain in the family. She was a member of St. Paul United Church of Christ in Floraville, Illinois, where she taught Sunday School for many years. She was a devoted Christian and a firm believer in our Lord, Jesus Christ.
