Over the years Dorothy worked for many prominent businesses in Yuma. The last 24 years were with Crop Production Services (formerly Western Farm Services). She looked forward to her lunches spent with her girls, granddaughter Casey Jo and great grandchildren. She loved to cook and was always the last to be served. She also loved going to roping’s, camping with the family, taking trips to San Diego or spending time in the mountains relaxing and fishing. Dorothy will be remembered for the love of her family, good times and telling it like it was! She never bypassed a casino and couldn’t wait for it to be 5:00 o’clock somewhere to enjoy many a happy hours with great friends.
Dorothy was a wonderful wife, mother, sister, grandmother and great grandmother. She was preceded in death by her parents Claud and Marie Major, and her sister-in-law Barbara Conway Major.
