When people spoke of Dorothy (MeeMaw), the first statement that usually came out was how sweet she was. In her high school autograph book the majority of her class mates said "Stay Sweet," or "You are the sweetest person I know." She was kind to everyone, and never had a bad word to say; she treated everyone fairly and equally.

Biscuits, Rolls, and Corn Bread! There may be some as good, but there was never anyone that baked better bread. Her bread has been highly missed the last few years by family and friends.

Dorothy was director of the Fairfield Senior Citizens from 1976 to 2004. Seniors came from all over, and she kept them busy with quilt making, arts and crafts, and pot luck dinners. Raffle tickets for the quilts, and the sale of arts and crafts at the extremely successful Fall Bazaar helped pay for the trips the group took to the World's Fair in Nashville, Niagara Falls, Glass Factories in Ohio, and many other destinations. She somehow planned and oversaw these highly looked forward to trips.

Dorothy was also a Sunday school teacher for many years at Fairfield United Methodist Church and home room mother and P.T.A member at Fairfield Elementary School for many years.

She will be missed by friends and relatives.
