Dorothy and Dan moved from Masury to Brookfield in 1958, where they raised a family and enjoyed the companionship of many friends and neighbors.

Dorothy loved to attend musicals and musical performances of all kinds, ranging from famous singers in Las Vegas to the Kenley Players in Warren.  She enjoyed cooking and baking for friends and family, and gardening in her yard.
