Children were the love of life, and they gravitated toward her winning personality.  She was an
outstanding storyteller and could hold children's attention for hours.    
Dorothy's home in New York was the family home where family and friends would meet, greet,
eat and talk about the family and the good old times in the Camerontown community.  Upon her
return to Camerontown, she was a dedicated member of Bethel AME Church and was an ardent
member supporting the Church programs especially Bethels Mother’s Day Queen Program.

to the power of compassion and tenderness. Known for her resilience, love, empathy and
unmatched patience, Dorothy was a beacon of warmth and strength. Her devout reverence for the
Lord and unwavering commitment to family defined her character. She lived a life deeply rooted
in family values, embodying the essence of a true matriarch. Dorothy's generosity knew no
bounds. Never ungrateful, greedy, or selfish, she epitomized selflessness. To those who knew
her, she was one of the most giving souls. Dorothy enjoyed life to the fullest and she will be
deeply missed by family, friends and the entire Camerontown Community. Rest in Peace Dot!
