Dorothy was formerly employed by A&P Tea Company in Greene, Bennett's Food Market in Greene, Grand Union in Norwich, HotDot Foods in Norwich, and the Norwich Price Chopper. The best part of all her jobs were the many people she met and the friends she had; it was her greatest joy. Her life interests were family, her love of her cats, reading, doing needlework, and feeding and watching birds. She truly loved her home life and her family.
