Dorothy was an avid volunteer and gave her time and energy to The Mental Health Association and The Lupus Foundation of America. Dorothy had a great passion for life and all things social. Whether it was Notre Dame tailgating, playing cards with the gals, going to plays with her friends, hanging out with her children, or chatting about the latest episode of The Bachelor, she took absolute joy in interaction with friends and always seeing the good in everyone. Dorothy was always young at heart and had a more active social life than most of her children and grandchildren.
