She was a lifetime homemaker and professional “antiquer.” She had a great eye for finding old and unusual pieces to refinish and resell. She loved nothing more than spending time going to yard sales, thrift shops and auctions. Not to mention all the trash finds that she transformed into beautiful treasures. She was definitely a bargain hunter with exceptional bartering skills. This was most definitely her passion. People would come from all around to buy antiques and things from her.
Dot was also an avid flower gardener and bird lover. She spent countless hours working on her gorgeous backyard gardens that included water fountains, birdhouses and feeders, multitudes of beautiful flowers, bushes, and trees all landscaped with hundreds of hand picked river rock. Some of her favorites were roses, zinnias, and lilies. Her favorite birds were Cardinals, Blue Jays, and Hummingbirds.
Some of Dot’s other hobbies included playing cards, her favorite card game was Rook. She loved cooking and was known for her “cathead” biscuits and her turkey and dressing. Dot loved spending time with her pug dogs, and she also loved listening to music. Some of her favorites were Jim Reeves, Patsy Cline, Elvis, Fats Domino, and Charlie Rich.
