For many years, Dottie was a local real estate agent helping many of her friends and family know the joy of home ownership. Dottie attended Harvest Ministries Church where she and her husband were faithful members for many years. Dottie was a talented singer who sang in church her entire life and was known to everyone as a woman of tremendous faith who loved the Lord Jesus Christ.
