While living in Washington, DC, Dorothy was a Charge Nurse, Emergency RN Staff Nurse, Private Duty Nurse and General Staff Nurse.

Dorothy's last employer was Guilford County Department of Social Service where she retired in 2015.  She was a faithful member of First Baptist Church, Highland Avenue in Winston-Salem, NC under the leadership of Rev Dr. Darryl Aaron until her health began diminishing.  She really admired and enjoyed her church family and one of her favorite church events was Friends and Family Day.
