Dorothy was born to Don and Olive Cable in Roberts, Idaho. She moved north with her parents and brother Curt to Clarkston, where she grew up with best friend Louise and many other fun-loving friends.
As a student at Clarkston High School, Dorothy was a spirited debater and leader on the newspaper and yearbook. She became a dedicated volunteer candy striper at St. Joseph Hospital, with aspirations of going into nursing. Dorothy graduated from CHS in 1949.
Dorothy's special knack for connecting with people started early, as she worked the fizzes and floats at Johnson's Pharmacy in Clarkston. She met her future husband, Lee Hayes, and his brother Kim over a bubbling soda one fine sunny day. Dorothy married Lee on Sept. 9, 1949, and together they raised six children, all of whom she was very proud.
Dorothy, Lee and brother Kim were constant companions throughout their lives. After Lee's death in 2007, Kim became Dorothy's trusted, devoted companion. He demonstrated his fondness for her each and every day with his consideration, attention and appreciation over the years. Her children will forever be grateful for his understanding, patience and dedication.
Dorothy spent the majority of her life raising kids, making sure all their needs were met, yet determined that her children would be prepared to meet the world with eyes wide open and a genuine work ethic. She served her children and others as a role model and teacher of life skills, a Camp Fire and Cub Scout leader, a Sunday school teacher and school volunteer. Her dedication to her children was a work of the heart.
Dorothy loved reading, sewing, crafting, crossword puzzles and crocheting. She made bagfuls of crocheted dish cloths as gifts for friends and family. Dorothy developed a love of cooking early on, often producing true works of culinary delight. Her ability to stretch a meal made for a good lesson for all. Dorothy loved the challenge of feeding her family and not letting anything go to waste. Her children have fond memories of an aroma of spicy sweet homemade cinnamon rolls or a bucket of freshly baked chocolate chip cookies - oh, to have a fresh batch right now.
Dorothy always kept the coffee pot full and hot. No matter the occasion - a holiday celebration, a birthday or the annual Hayes Dayes' Family Reunion - the 100-cup coffee pot could be heard percolating in the background.
Dorothy was preceded in death by her parents; her husband of 58 years, Lee Hayes; brother Curtis; and granddaughter Kimberly Sue "Kimmie" Hayes Wallace
