We will miss our sweet and funny Aunt Dorothy. Always ready with good advice or a great joke, she was so much fun to be around. We always loved spending time with her. We have lived far apart for years but a trip to South Dakota was never complete without a trip to Gettysburg to see her. She is no longer in pain and for that we are thankful. She will be missed.
Sue and family – so sorry to hear of the loss of your Mother. I have had the pleasure of knowing her for many years – – from the time I was a little girl in grade school and she worked in the school office, to the years I worked with her in the Bank. She was always very helpful and caring, and I will always remember how beautifully and impeccably dressed she always was. She was a true lady in the finest sense of the word. My thoughts are with you all.
To the Relatives of Dorothy Moul –
My sympathy to you on the passing of Dorothy. She and I were employees of the Gettysburg School in the ’70’s. I enjoyed my friendship with her very much as she was a wonderful person who was fun to be around. I always thought I would get back to G’burg and I’d stop and see her, but I live in Rapid City and as you know, Gettysburg is not a town you pass through very often. She is a person who will never be forgotten.
