Dorothea was the oldest of two children born to Homer Chester and Viola Inez (Kipp) Long. she married Harold Clay Beckham in 1944. No children from this union.
* Note: Obituary states burial location as Northwest Memorial, but I can't locate any cemetery by that name, so I have placed her memorial at Skyline Memorial, where her parents and brother are all buried.
