Dorothy was my visiting teacher for a short time and her energy and pure kindness amazed me. One day I had probably 1000 lbs of rags to unload in my van and I had to just run and get my child from a neighbours house. When I got back, not only had she unloaded my van but she had cleaned the van out...in a short space of 5-10 minutes....She truly was a gem of a woman, with a beautiful family to go with. I hope to meet you again one day Dorothy, all my love to your family during this difficult time

Dorothy is an inspiration to me. She lived life well, she loved with a beautiful heart, and made everyone with whom she interacted feel special. I will miss her sunny smile and lovely disposition. I loved being a "Flower" and will miss visiting with her tremendously. My sincerest condolences to all who loved Dorothy and counted her as family or friend.

To all of Dorothy's magnificent bouquet of personal flowers - children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren, my sincerest condolences, and love. Dorothy made my travel to the Temple with her and the other sisters for evening sessions a joyous experience that I will never forget. I'm sorry I cannot join you on Saturday, but my heart and prayers will be with you. Your brother, Dan Johnson

Being only ONE of Dorothy's "flowers" I was privileged to be a small rose in her huge bouquet of friends! What a beautiful smile and sparkling eyes that made up her serene countenance. She was an angel among us! My sincere condolences to the family - you were so privileged to have her as your matriarch. Sending Hugs with Love, Judy Sprague

Dorothy was a very great example of her Faith and gave her all to everyone. We will miss her deeply but she will now be with her Father in Heaven and will be the angel looking down on all her Family and Flowers. She may be gone but she will remain to all of us as an inspiration, as we continue our journey till we meet again.

To all the family, I have very special memories of Sister Senter, she was my first Young Woman President and I loved her dearly. She made me feel very special and unique and her blue case always had a few treats that encouraged me as a sweet toothed 12 year old to answer questions perfectly. She taught me kindness, gentleness and the last time I hugged her I was her "flower" as always. May she be rejoicing with her beloved x love Alison Caughey, Coventry x
