She served faithfully until her health began to fail. Dorothy was a long time employee of the University of Texas - Jester Center, where she served as the Culinary Supervisor for thirty-two years. After retirement, she devoted many years working in home health care, where she was able to continue sharing with others her passion for cooking and care giving.
