Dorothy Ruth Jobson

Dorothy was born October 5, 1930, in Ionia, Michigan, and was lovingly adopted by Merle W. and Anna Ruth (Emmons) Rowley, of Flint, Michigan. She was a kind, strong and resilient lady. Dorothy, affectionately known as "Dottie," enjoyed reading, antiquing, gardening, and visiting herb farms. Some of her other hobbies included arts and crafts and beachcombing Lake Michigan.
