Herb and family,
so sorry for your loss! Dottie was such an Amazing woman. It was such an honor to have gotten to know her over these last 3+ years at TLC. I always looked forward to our late night talks and her volunteering to be the taste tester for whatever desserts I might be making. I will miss her dearly! TLC just won’t be the same without her.
Rest in peace my Dottie-Dear, love always your Tillie!

Herb and Family,
I’m so sorry for your loss. Though I haven’t worked that long at TLC I found Dottie was a very special lady. I so enjoyed my visits with her, Her eyes just twinkled during our special laughs and times together. She truly cared for those of us who cared for her, and I loved her reactions to my fluffy omelets she liked me to make for her. I cherish the special talks we had. She is going to be missed by many of us. Wishing all of you peace at this sad time. She is at peace , out of pain, and with her Lord. Rest in Peace Dottie. Margo

Herb, Randy & Shelly, my heartfelt condolences in the loss of your Mom.
Dottie was a lifelong friend of my Mom (Grace Green) even though they had lost touch the last few years. We lost Mom exactly 1 year ago. We often talked about “Sara’s (my daughter) friend Dottie”. Once Sara (at 2 years of age) met Dottie, she always referred to her as my friend Dottie and asked often for Mom to take her out for a visit to the house on Blue Creek.
My memories of your mom was warm, welcoming & loving and she was a presence in my life from the time we were all very young. I fondly have a faint memory of going to your Grama’s house many years ago.
Hugs.
Grace aka Fweety

Sara White says
I’m so sorry for your loss, Dottie was such a special lady. I have such happy warm memories of her from when I was little. Mostly of picking as many strawberries as I wanted and then eating as many as I could! And she gave the best cuddles. My love to you all.

To the family and friends of Dorothy please accept my deepest condolences. When Jesus Christ was here on Earth he promised he will resurrect the loved ones we have lost in death back to life John 5:28,29, right here on a brand new Paradise Earth under Jesus Christ Kingdom rule that he taught his followers to pray to come in the Lord’s Prayer no more sickness pain or death Life Without End Revelation 21:1-4 jw.org.
