Dorie retired from OSU Hospital in 2015, where she worked for over 30 years and made several lifelong friends.  You could find her gardening on any sunny day and she enjoyed both reading and watching any show on HGTV.

“You are pulled from the wreckage

Of your silent reverie

You’re in the Arms of the Angel

May you find some comfort here”

We love you to the moon and back Mama!
