Dorothy was proud of her heritage, her coastside roots and her family. As a mother, Dorothy dedicated full attention to her daughters’ health, academic and extra curricular activities. When her girls were in middle school, Dorothy worked as a part-time assistant to the Half Moon Bay Librarian and contributed her time as a 4-H leader for several years. As she transitioned into her elder life, she found peace and contentment volunteering her time and services to the Senior Coastsiders.
Dorothy was an adventurous lady. She loved people, traveling, music and most of all, she to be on or near the coastline. Dorothy always looked forward to and cherished visits with grandchildren and great grand children.
