For over 22 years, Dorothy worked for Fox-Andersen Construction repairing fIre and water damaged homes. The rancher in her enjoyed every aspect of construction.

Her jeans usually sported a hole in the knee and her purse was surprisingly heavy, since she used it as her additional toolbox. She will be remembered as on the best painters in Casper.

Dorothy was also employed for a brief time at the Wyoming Medical Center in the Maintenance dept. She was a member of TOPS for many years.

Some of her favorite things were her horses, Chester and CW, hunting, fIshing, country dancing, painting pictures with her mom and June, taking photos of anything and everything from a sunset to a flower. Dorothy never met a stranger; she enjoyed people and was always the fust to lend a hand. There was never a dull moment around her, she had a great sense. of humor and could fmd the good in everything. She was a wonderful mother and no matter what, was always there for her children Bobbie and Grady.
Her smile could light up a room! Dorothy was a strong, caring, talented beautiful woman who will always be deeply loved and truly missed.
