For the past 36 years she was an active member of Summer Grove Baptist Church where she served on the tithing committee and bereavement committee.

One of her greatest joys was spending time with her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Dorothy and Jake never missed a ballgame, church or school activity for her children and grandchildren. She enjoyed her group of Bunko friends for many years. Mom and Dad also enjoyed attending many Korean Conflict Army reunions over the years. She was a faithful wife, Mom, grandmother and friend throughout the years.
