Dorothy’s life was dedicated to her family and it is that love of family that provided her happiness throughout the years. She had a great gift for art; known for her beautiful paintings, artwork and custom crafts that were all created as personalized gifts to her family and friends. Dorothy’s love of travel brought her to become a travel agent in Newton offering others magnificent travel experiences that she herself loved. Her and Gil’s travels included Australia, New Zealand, Italy, Austria, Denmark, Sweden, Ireland, Hawaii, St. Maartin, Bermuda, Aruba and many other exotic places and she always returned home with fabulous and, most often, funny stories of these adventures.
