Dottie was well known for her cooking and generosity in helping others. She was the matriarch of the family making sure everyone was taken care of. She enjoyed traveling with her husband Pete, spending their summers in Wells Beach, Maine and traveling to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina to be with her family in the winter.

Her three daughters, Deborah Sue Harris and husband Corey of Lacey, WA, Leeanne Herman and husband Robert of Southampton, MA, and Danielle Newton of Shelburne Falls, MA. Her six grandchildren, Jared Herman, Jordyn Corliss, Gabriel Corliss, Gary Herman, Robert Herman III.
