Dorothy was a loving wife, mother, grand and great-grandmother. She felt her purpose was to instill the importance of family and Jesus Christ into the lives she touched. She led a quiet life of service - whether it was Christian Service Corps, organizing and cooking countless meals, or holding and rocking babies - in all, she exuded love for her savior. Until the very end, people would say “she’s one of the good ones”, “those eyes just sparkle”, “her smile lights up the room” ..... She will be missed by all and although we are overjoyed for her victory, our lives will be a little less whole until we are together again.
Dorothy was preceded in death by her husband, James E. Craig and her parents, Ira and Mittie Milliorn.
She is survived by her sons, David Craig and wife, Wanda and John Craig; daughters, Sharon Alexander and partner, Charles Gosling and Kathleen Rivera and John Mangan; grandchildren, Johnny Craig and wife, Amber, James Craig and wife, Jessica, Jonathan Craig and wife, Whitney, Stefani Potts and husband, Jeff, Brandy Alexander-Irby and husband, David, Paige Poelman and husband, Lance, Chase Rivera and Keely Rivera; son-in-law, Joe Rivera and eleven great-grandchildren.
