    Aunt Dot you will be missed very much. Great memories of all of us at Christmas. You have a wonderful daughter who took such good care of you. I know this will be hard for her, but she has friends and family to help her move ahead. Rest in Peace

Greg Farmer Tuesday, 12/9/14, 12:16 PM I have very fond memories of visting Aunt Dorothy, Uncle Don and Donna in Steubenville over the years. I remember that Aunt Dorothy was always very kind and welcoming to us (as were Uncle Don and Donna), and we enjoyed our visits very much. She was a strong lady with a very positive outlook on life, even during Uncle Don's illness. We will miss her. Email: [email protected]
