She lived with foster parents, Fred and Icle Fisher, until she graduated from high school in Villisca, Iowa.

Dorothy’s youngest sister, Deloris, was raised by the couple and adopted by Gilbert. Three children were born to Dorothy and Gilbert. Dorothy and Gilbert moved from Iowa to Bennington, Nebraska, then to Blair in 1957. Dorothy had a variety of jobs, which began with deboning chicken legs at Campbell’s Soup Company in Fremont. This unusual job earned Dorothy an appearance on The Art Linkletter Show during a vacation in California when she told Linkletter she was a “leg girl.” In Blair, Dorothy worked at B&C Clothing, Ryder & Company Accounting, Sampson’s Drug Store, and Klopp’s Jewelry. Dorothy and Gilbert loved to travel and did so until Gilbert’s death in 1978. Dorothy married Harry Tucker on October 5, 1980. Harry died in 1987. Dorothy remained close with her four siblings and loved to host them and her lady friends at her home in Blair. She moved to Westside Regency in Stanton in 2013, and to the Health Center in 2018.
