Dottie worked with the public school system over 30 years as a dietician and cafeteria manager in several different elementary schools in Hartsville and Cheraw. Once Dottie and Ed retired, they went into full-time mission work for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints at the Atlanta GA Temple, the Columbia SC Temple, and as proselyting missionaries in Oakland CA, all totaling about 12 years. Since Ed passed 6 years ago, Dottie moved to the Carolinian in independent living and then assisted living. She was a friend to all and made everyone feel like they were family. Dottie was preceded in death by her parents, her husband, Ed, 5 brothers and 3 sisters.
