Left to cherish her memory are her daughter, Vickey Pitts (Gary); a son Todd Johnson (Karen); two granddaughters; four great-grandchildren; brother, Richard Settle (Linda); and a host of extended family.

A graveside service will be held at 11:00am on Friday, March 13, 2026, at Westlawn Gardens of Memory Mausoleum Chapel with Rev. Steve Johnson officiating. There will be no formal visitation held.

The family would like to extend their heartfelt thanks to the entire staff of Trellis Supportive Care for their compassion and care given to Dorothy.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Trellis Supportive Care, 101 Hospice Lane, Winston-Salem, NC 27103.
