She received her BA in Christian Education at Waynesburg University (PA) and her MA in Education, Program and Staff Development at the Ohio State University.
Her early years of marriage were devoted to rearing her children and being an active lay person in her husband's congregations in Pittsburgh, PA; Canton, OH; and Zanesville, OH.
When her husband's second pastorate in Canton, took them into an area where the school system was less than she hoped, she initiated an involvement as a volunteer. Several years later, when the family moved to Zanesville, she supported her husband in the organization now known as Eastside Community Ministry. They began a tutoring program called "Each One Teach One." When they could boast 50 volunteers, she approached the school board to allow her to develop a comprehensive city-wide program, which she created and managed for 15 years.
Leaving that job, she served as the part-time coordinator of the Resource Center of the Muskingum Valley Presbytery in New Philadelphia.
During these same years, she joined with Bill and others to form the Fellowship of Christ's Community at Central Presbyterian Church. Her contribution was in music, Christian Education, worship and in recent years a tutoring program for adult non-readers.
Dottie was always a seeker in a quest to understand more fully what it means to live a deep Christian life - and share that understanding with others. As part of her own spiritual life, she completed classes in Alabama with an ecumenical group sponsored by the United Methodist Church. Additional disciplines at the Shalem Institute in Washington, DC certified her to be a Spiritual Director. In order to fulfill the requirements of sustaining her own spiritual growth, she established a Peer Ministry Group of pastors who meet regularly for Bible study and prayer.
In recent years, Dottie was an active member of Brighton Presbyterian Church, where she sang in the choir and shared in the prayer and Bible study groups. She partnered with Betty Lou Stull in giving leadership to Retreats within the Muskingum Valley Presbytery, as well as Presbyterian Women's workshops. She maintained an active participation in the Fellowship of Christ's Community.
She has received accolades on many occasions for her contributions to the lives of people from all walks of life, notably those on the fringes. A very special recognition as "Volunteer of the Year" was bestowed by the senior citizens group.
She was preceded in death by her parents, her husband, twin infant sons, and a half-sister, Florence Moffitt.
