In her early years Dorothy was a member of the Business and Professional Women's Club of Green Lake as well as a member and leader of the Cub Scouts and Girl Scouts. More than anything, Dorothy enjoyed spending time with her family, especially her grandchildren and great-grandchildren, and would cherish every opportunity to attend their athletic events and musical performances.
