Dorothy is also survived by two brothers: Bob and Jim Behne, both of Guymon and one sister, Dora Sales of Kingsland, Texas; and many numerous nieces, nephews and dear, loyal friends. Dorothy was a very loving and supportive mother and grandma. Some of the favorite memories with Dorothy are: camping with Aunt Pearl and Uncle Earl and family, her wonderful crocheted dish rags, cinnamon rolls and fudge, and her full support of her church and family.
