It was in her early years of her life that she developed a love for the outdoors and country living. She went to 1st and 2nd grade at Agawam before moving to Lindsay where she attended school for eight years. She then moved to Ardmore her junior year and her senior year of high school was at Dibble where she graduated with the class of 1967.

Together, Dorothy and Bill raised two children, Melissa and Sean and lived over the next 23 years in the Dibble, Rush Springs and Blanchard area.
