In 1946, Dorothy and Bob moved to California, settling in the San Francisco Bay Area where they both found jobs with American Trust Company. They made their home and raised their two children in California, retiring to St. George in 1989. They always missed California, but were happy to be closer to their families in the Salt Lake area. One of Dorothy’s greatest joys was the role of hostess in their home to family and friends, whether there for a short visit or an extended stay. She took pride in her home and she and Bob did their best to always make guests feel welcome, comfortable and relaxed. Bob and Dorothy enjoyed showing out of town guests the sights of St. George and Southern Utah. Her lovely home and gracious hospitality will be missed by those who experienced it.
Dorothy is survived by her son, Robert (Sharon) of Challis, ID, daughter, Deborah of St. George, UT; and several nieces and nephews. Preceded in death by her husband, Robert; sisters: Margaret, Esther and Leona; and brother, Rudolph. The family would like to thank her dear friends and neighbors, Margo Parker and Eddie and Katharine Edwards for their love and support for Dorothy, especially the past few years. Also, thank you to Canyon Home Care and Hospice for their assistance and care over the past two months. Dorothy will be deeply missed.
