Dorothy was born on a farm northeast of Hetland. She attended School #44. She enjoyed horseback riding and reading. She graduated with the second class to graduate from Hetland High School in 1923.

She returned to Eastern Normal for one year and then taught at Presho, SD, for 3 years, then at Country School #45 north of Hetland. While there, she met her future husband, Tom Anderson.
She taught for 2 years at Forestburg where her future brother-in-law, Glenn Prunty was superintendent. She helped with the girl scouts there.
In Canistota, Dorothy was active at the Presbyterian Church in the women's group, as a teacher, on Church Council, and enjoyed most her work in the library. She belonged to Rebeccas of the Odd Fellow Lodge, Senior Citizens, and a study club.
