Dorothy enjoyed crossword puzzles, spending time with her grandchildren and great grandchildren, dancing, singing, her family and God. This little church in Keystone was very important to her and William’s lives. Bill was at one point the treasurer and Dotty sang in the choir, this brought her a tremendous amount of joy.
