In 1946, at the age of 13, she moved in to a new neighborhood with her family. On her street, she met the man who would eventually become her husband. She was a kind and loving woman, admired by all.
She was preceded in death by her parents, numerous aunts, uncles, and cousins.
Dorothy is survived by her loving husband of 64 years, Bob Mitchell; daughter, Patricia Simmons and husband, Rodger; son, Gary Mitchell and wife Laurie; grandchildren, Keith Marshall and wife Jeanette; Stacey Marshall, Ethan Mitchell and Emily Mitchell; great grandchildren, Dylan Marshall and Keira Marshall; and her sister Genie Nuro.
She had a zest for living and loved to dance. She will be dearly missed by her family and friends.
