She died Thursday of natural causes after staying several years at Northbrooke Health Care Nursing Home.
Mrs. McDaniel was born "a country girl" in 1927 as the first of eight girls to the late James "Bud" and Eva King. She was working as a telephone operator when she met and married the late Lawrence Malone McDaniel. Becoming a full-time homemaker, she and "Mac" raised four children in Jackson and taught them to appreciate simple things.
For several years, Mac and Dorothy were members of the Jack and Jills square dancing group and appeared in the movie "Walking Tall-An American Hero."
Caring for children, especially those "who can't fend for themselves," Mrs. McDaniel worked for such groups as the March of Dimes and supported children with life-threatening diseases at St. Jude.
