Dot was a 1962 graduate of Carolina High School, where she lettered in basketball. She worked for over 20 years as an associate in the medical field. For the past 25 years, she has worked alongside her husband for Ameriprise Financial.

Mrs. Gregory’s love for clowns explains why she is known for her sweet smile and loving disposition toward everyone. Lucille Ball and Red Skelton, whom she admired dearly, taught her lesson that she used throughout her life. If your share a little smile and laughter it is the best medicine to help everyone feel loved.

“And you should remember some silly little thing that I have said or done. And it brings back a smile to your face or chuckle to your heart then my purpose has been served.” Red Skelton
