In Dorothy's earlier years, she loved riding horses, rodeoing, and gardening. She later developed a passion for traveling, as most people would remember her and "Playmate" always being on the road going somewheres. Dorothy enjoyed playing bingo, her once a month Tuesday casino runs to Coushatta and being around her Council on Aging family. She also enjoyed watching football, whether it was high school, college, or NFL.
