From her friend, Helen Hamilton:
She never missed a bird walk or a plant walk or a meeting and regularly drove herself to grocery, appointments, events until her 98th birthday when she, not her doctors, decided she should stop driving. Sold her car to a neighbor but drove it all over town on October 13. Dorothy was a regular worker at the Williamsburg Botanical Garden well into her late 90’s. Near her 99th birthday she was hauling her recycling bin from the street up her gravel driveway, grinning as she finished “you don’t use it, you lose it”!
