    Grace Vineyard says:
    Dorothy was the very essence of a lady. As volunteer Chairman of the Pardee Hospital Gift Shop, I worked with her for many years. Every Friday I could depend on her to serve all our customers with grace and cheerfulness. In the early years before computers, we worked together on our vendor sales in the lobby. Our hours were long and she computed all of the sales accurately by hand and never complained. She often spoke lovingly of her family. I will miss her friendly face at the Fresh Market. I will miss her and always be grateful that our paths have crossed. Fondly, Grace Vineyard
