Dorothy and Fayne traveled extensively throughout the US and Europe. They were always taking classes to learn as much as they could. They remained active well into their 80’s and 90’s swimming, hiking, skiing and biking. Affectionately known as Granny, she was a kind and generous person with a strong sense of right and wrong. She enjoyed spending time with her family, always interested in what everyone was doing, gently offering suggestions. With the help of her family, she was able to stay in her own home until her death. She was always very appreciative of all the help she received. We will all miss her smile and sense of humor.
