Our mother was a dedicated Christian lady, wonderful mother, friend, and caregiver for her mother, two husbands, and anyone who needed help. She was smart as a whip and loved doing the New York Times Crossword puzzle in ink. She always enjoyed being with her family. She made loaves of bread and many hundreds of dinner rolls for the sick and shut-ins. She was lovingly called Mama Dot by young and old alike. She will be greatly missed by all.
