During WWII, she was left on the farm to help her Daddy. She helped him clear land and grow the crops in the field. In her younger days, she loved to travel. Later in her life, Dorothy worked as an industrial seamstress. She was also a member of the Hebron Baptist Church. She was a fiercely independent woman. She took good care of her house with help from her brother Everett. She loved her chain saw and mowing the grass on her riding lawn mower. She would feed her birds every day and she loved being outside

Dorothy is survived by a loving family, including her daughter Angela Drum (Mike) of Greensboro, daughter Karen Taylor (James), son Ronnie Taylor (late Doreen) of Stoney Point, grandchildren Douglas Drum and Mary Drum and her great-grandchildren Cameron Drum and Meghan Drum. Dorothy truly loved and protected her children. She was a gracious, kind lady who was loved very much and will be deeply missed.
