When we were kids, we used shot glasses to see who could drink down the pepsi the fastest. Dinksie won every time. Then she got an extra glass to drink! ---During cold winter nights, in our old drafty farmhouse, Dinksie would come get me out of bed in the middle of the night, walk me into her bed half asleep to help keep her warm! Whats family for? Love, & Prayers Frank

I worked with Dottie for many years before we both retired from the College of Charleston. She was a wonderful coworker and friend. My deepest heartfelt condolences and prayers for all her family and friends. Rest in Peace, Dottie. It was a pleasure to know you in this world.

Sincerely,
Lisa Weaver

I´m so sorry to hear about Dottie´s passing. We worked together years ago at DuPont. Her cheerful presence and beautiful smile made her a great friend. May she rest in peace.
