She is a founding member of Barrineau Park Historical Society, served as secretary of International Paper Company retirees. She has managed and maintained the Barrineau Park Colony Cemetery. Because of her nursing profession, she has been the community nurse. She did not ask for the job, it just seemed the right thing to do. She never turned anyone away who needed help.

Most of us will always remember driving by in our cars to see her picking up trash along the highway and encouraging others to take pride in their community. If you truly want to honor Dorothy’s memory, keep your community beautiful by picking up trash along the highway.
