With Lewis, Dorotha continued her generous contributions to the Winfield community through her membership in the First Presbyterian Church, his membership in the First United Methodist Church, and associations with many, many friends.
Dorotha felt her life was a life fully lived. Her faith, energy, optimism and laughter were pervasive and helped her and those around her overcome difficult times and more completely appreciate the joyous times of life. She loved her family and friends so very much and we, whose lives were enriched by having known her, will cherish her memory.
