Dorothy was born in Toronto, the second child of Robert Glass Holmes and Margaret (Waterson).
She was married to Lindsay Lloyd Nesbitt on October 26, 1946,
Lloyd and Dorothy were always involved in Christian ministry, at First Baptist Church in Fort Erie, in backyard Bible clubs, and Gideons International. Dorothy taught at Niagara Christian Collegiate for 17 years and is fondly remembered by many former students.
Shortly after the passing of Lloyd in 1993, Dorothy moved to Toronto and settled in Bethany Courts where she enjoyed that Christian community for twenty years. In 2015, she moved to live with Donna and Bruce in Scarborough.
Dorothy was the mother of Doralyn (Carey), Donna (Bruce), and Debra (David).

Dorothy is pre-deceased by her husband Lloyd, her sister Edith, and her brother Doug.
