  1. Ridgecrest, California: Charley Ray Rodgers and family send love and condolences to his sweet cousin, Dottie's family.

  2. We're remembering Dottie well as a wonderful person and baker from our Thanksgiving visits. Our deepest sympathies to Terri and the family. Larry and Kathi

  3. Rita Yaunt says:

    What a wonderful inspiration she has been in my life. Showing what being a faithful, devoted Christian woman should be like. You never saw her without her sweetheart Vernon beside her. She loved working on the roof with him – even at 80+ years. I will greatly miss her and her love and understanding. She has reached her final destination probably doing cartwheels on those heavenly streets of gold. My love to the family and host of friends.

  4. Deana Allem says:

    Dottie was my Sunday school teacher and was a great example on how to live a Christian life. She always had a smile and an encouraging word. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family.

  5. I didn't have the opportunity to know Dottie. I do know Terri and I send my sympathy to Terri and her family. Keeping you and your family in my thoughts and prayers during this time.
