Dottie was a best friend to all. She exemplified southern charm . She never missed an opportunity for a hug and a kiss, or an opportunity to take chocolates when chocolates were passed. Chocolate was her signature fragrance! Her door was always open for a game of cards (Jack Rabbit) and a listening ear. She never met a person who didn’t fall in love with her.
She was an active member of the LDS Church, serving faithfully in her callings. Her favorite callings were always with the children. She and JB served a mission as ordinance workers in the Manti Temple.
Survived by daughters: Ruthie Spreckelsen, Peggy (Clarence) Bartolomei, Jane Berglund Petersen; 13 grandchildren, 39 great-grandchildren and 18 great-great-grandchildren.
