    Dorothy was born January 21, 1928 in Kansas City, Mo., the daughter of James Frances and Irene (Smith) Pickett.

    After her youngest child entered school, Dorothy began substitute teaching and eventually became a full time teacher at SS. Peter and Paul Grade School. To support her teaching career and business activities, Dorothy continued her education to qualify for a teaching certificate, a realtor's license, and a nursing home administrator's license.
