Dorothy's greatest pride was her family. She was always involved with them coaching girl’s baseball and hockey, being involved with numerous school activities as well as helping Jim with OMHA for several years. Once her children were grown she followed her grandchildren's events. Dorothy was always talking to anyone who came into her home about all of her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. She was very excited to meet the newest member arriving in August.
