To this union, three children were born. In November of this year, Dot and Allen celebrated 62 years together. Dot adored her family. She was often found sharing stories about them with anyone who would listen. Dot also enjoyed spending time bowling, playing the guitar, singing, drawing, painting, sewing, crocheting, reading, going for drives and of course, playing cards. She was well known for her love of baking and always made sure no one ever left her house hungry.
