Dorothy (Dot) grew up in Strasburg, Ohio about five miles North of NewPhiladelphia, Ohio. She mentioned that during the Second World Warthat she worked in an ammunitions factory for quite awhile. She didsuffer sulfuric burns to her outer facial skin over her cheeks andnose area. Dot spent many years in California being treated for thoseburns, and possibly Lupus. In the early 1980's she was developingheart disease as per her letters to Sandra, August 24, 1981-Nov. 26,1985. Most of her history is intertwined with Tella?s since they weremarried for fifty years or more. She and Tella had four childrenwhile married. Jerry, Gloria, Michael, and Patrick. Dot enjoyedgetting on the city transit bus line to go shopping at the mall fromSpring Valley to San Diego whenever she could get a chance to go.Banana split ice-cream was her favorite treat when shopping. She wasa member of the Casa De Oro Baptist Church in Spring Valley,California for many years.
Dorothy had always said that if anything were to happen to her husbandthat she would move to be with her daughter Gloria in Louisville,Kentucky. Although, she said this often it would appear that she didnot do so. Since her death was so close to that of her husbandsperhaps there was not enough time involved for her to make the movebefore her death. Dorothy's social security ssdi.genealogy statesthat her social security number was obtained in Ohio and her lastresidence was 92077 (72) which is the postal code for Spring Valley,California. It confirms Dorothy's date of death as per Marjorie Lee'sletter of April 01, 2004, and it gives her last residence as probablythat of Spring Valley, California. NOTE: We now know that she livedwith her son Patrick at the time of her death in ElCajon, because ofher health status, but had retained her residence in Spring Valley,California.
