For many years she would make dolls and other home made items for all the grandchildren. She enjoyed painting, caning and restoring old chairs, and restoring other furniture. Dottie and her husband, Bill, spent many years vacationing around the country with her sister Polly and husband Donny. Some of their more memorable times were spent digging for old bottles.
