My aunt Dora Lee written by Mike Wynn
Dora Lee was a small built lady, but full of spunk, not to mention my favorite Aunt. She was proud to have come from a Kentucky family and would not stand for jokes related to Kentuckians. She loved county music, I remember a couple of times when the Grand Ole Opera was on the TV, and she would start to dancing with the music. She had a low toned voice, but did not need to raise it too much as her eyes would open wide with that look that said it all. Dora Lee and Willis lived on the outside town limits of Austin, Indiana heading toward Scottsburg. Their home was a small two bedroom home. They raised a garden every year up on the hill above the house. My Grandparents Clarinda and Dock also worked in the same garden with them when they were living.
Once as a kid of about 13 -14 years old, I was playing with my Aunt Dora Lee and made a bet with her that she could not catch me to give me a playful spanking. I went running around the house, but little did I realize it but Dora Lee reversed on me and came around the opposite side of the house. She caught me! She and I laughed about that the last time I was with her and Willis as a kid.
Dora Lee was known for her great tasting brown gravy which everyone enjoyed. Her gravy was always made thin as she liked it that way. My mother always told Dora Lee that it was good, but you have to run to catch it.
Both Dora Lee and Willis are missed by all the family and friends.
