"Dora was our 4H leader way back in the 60's. She was a treasure of a woman. She loved all of us and taught us so well. What a beautiful testimony of a life well done. We love you Dora! And may God bless your entire family now and in the future."
In loving memory of

Tributes
"Vinnie & Mary Jo, Prayers for you and your family for peace and comfort."
"My sincere sympathy to Louis and the entire family. I only met Dora once, but she was unforgettable. She invited us (total strangers) into her home to teach us how to make tielle. She spent hours teaching us, and then of course she insisted we stay to eat! She was a kind, generous, cheerful and vibrant lady I will never forget."
