To my precious McDonald/Wilson family: there is an empty space where a true matriarch once sat. She loved you all so much, and she’ll be so missed. She left a mark on my heart, and the hearts of my boys. Rest in Heaven, Grandma.
Love you all,
Ginny, Matt and AJ

Our family was so sorry to hear of your loss. Over the past few days, we shared funny stories and memories we remembered about your mom. My mom was very sad to hear of the loss of her great friend of 90 plus years. My mom said today, now they are all waiting for me. Please know your mother was loved and remembered by many.

May God bless you and comfort your family in these sad times. Dorothy was our next door neighbor from 2002-2012.Such a sweet spirit. My husband would collect coupons and Dorothy was more than willing to give him her coupons. My daughter Aigner and son Shawn adored Dorothy. My daughter asked about Dorothy to this day she was so sweet to them candy and her recipe for banana split dessert. She will truly be missed by the Baker family. We just found out that she passed away. May God bless you Dorothy Mcdonald.

I Am Sorry For The Loss This Family Has Dealt With. Dorothy Was An Amazing Person And My Family Loved Her Dearly. I Grew Up Next Door To Her And She Use To Give Me Tomotoes And Cabbage From Her Garden. Whenever I Was Riding My Bike She Would Leave Her Garage Open So I Could Get A Juice When I Got Thirsty. I Loved Dorothy As If She Was My Own Grandmother. We Moved Out Of The Neighborhood And I Would Still Visit From Time To Time. After I Graduated High School , I Came To Visit Her And Show Her My Daughter And She Still Remembered Me ! I Was So Estatic And She Will Always Have A Special Place In My Heart. Sending Love And Prayers To The Family.
