She attended grade schools around the world, Sembach, Germany and Okinawa, Japan; but attended Merritt Island through her Sophomore year, and achieving her General Education Diploma through night school in 1978. She worked hard in various positions in hospitality and warehouse management. Dorothy was in Girl Scouts from Brownies through Cadets. She was involved with Space Coast Feline Network as a volunteer assisting with community cat colony management in her apartment complex. She enjoyed riding motorcycles, shooting pool, throwing darts, listening to the local bands play by the river, and most of all, she enjoyed helping others in need whether they were human or animals, especially if the animals were the feline variety.
