Dorothy was born in Checotah, Oklahoma and moved to Bakersfield in 1934 where she met and married Bruce Monfort and raised 3 children. After 34 loving years, Bruce passed away. Dorothy found love again, and married Roy R. Henry. The two spent 24 years together. Dorothy, was affectionately known as "Grams" to her family, neighbors and many, many friends. She was an extremely multi-talented lady who could do most almost everything, from building a house, to owning and operating a designer-dressmaking business for over ten years. She was the Banquet Manager at the Ramada Inn for 40 plus years, and was admired for her ability to arrange everything from special floral arrangements to overall decorations and all facets of meal reservations. She was a master chef, baker and recipe maker. A truly wonderful homemaker and a helping friend to her neighbors and everyone who knew her. "Grams" did it all. She was the glue in our family. The loving one who was always able to make everyone feel important. She was a wonderful example to all of us and she will remain in our hearts forever. She is survived by her son, Joe Monfort; daughter, Jeannie Henry; sister, Penny Kalinowski; four grandchildren; Karen, Michael, Chris, Michelle, along with many, many great- grandchildren, nieces and nephews. The family would like to express their appreciation to the staff of Parkview Julian Convalescence Hospital for their dedicated and wonderful care provided to our mother through the many years of Alzheimer Disease. A special thank you to the Hoffmann Hospice staff for the care and assistance provided in such a difficult time. Dorothy Monfort Henry 1915 - 2006 www.bakersfield.com/obits
