During her lifetime, Dot worked in domestic services and in the fast-food and dry-cleaning industries. She also spent many years working at the Tyson Manor Nursing Home in Montgomery, Alabama. Dot was a strong woman with a strong faith in her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. She recognized the blessings that she had received, and she was quick to give of herself to those who were in need. Most recently, she worked at the Senior Center in Billingsley, Alabama, where she had previously been a volunteer. She drove from Prattville five days per week to serve the people at the center and they recognized her gifts and willingness to serve. She was dearly loved.
