Dorothy was the owner and baker of D&E Country Cakes for many years, earning her the name as the “cake lady” or “the cream puff lady.” 

She was a member of Wesley Chapel United Methodist Church and also had been attending Harpster United Methodist Church, where she played an active role throughout the years. 

Dorothy was a member of the Wyandot Farmers Market, where she served as secretary and treasurer for many years. 

When she wasn’t baking or decorating cakes, Dorothy enjoyed embroidery, traveling to Spain and France, going on a cruise to Alaska, and trips to Florida.  Her greatest love was her Lord Jesus, the church and her family, which she enjoyed family get togethers, and going to the various activities of the grandchildren.
