Words alone cannot express the deep pain of losing such a wonderful and precious Aunt. I was truly blessed to be embraced by the joy of her kind, giving and loving heart. I will always treasure the lifetime of memories and think about them often. Aunt Dorothy, you will always hold a special place my heart.
A fond farewell to the "roller coaster" woman. She made us all laugh with her toast to the bride and groom, her grandson Tim and his bride Sarah.
We will miss your big heart, your teasing sense of humor, and the twinkle in your eye.
We share the tears with all those she touched!
Please accept my sincere sympathy. At this time it is important to draw close to God in prayer, for "he himself will sustain you'" (Psalm 55:22) Although you will miss Ms. Dorothy for now, take comfort in the promises found in God's word the Bible concerning the hope of seeing her again and being with her in a world without tears where sickness and death will be no more. (Revelation 21:4)
Dorothy was a very special person and she will be missed by all (DAV)
I will miss you, such a lovely soul.
I enjoyed Dorothy's stories she shared at the Kirk of Bonnie Brae, United Church of Christ.
You and Russell were great neighbors You will always be in our hearts , for your kindness to grandma,and our family.Rest in Peace
Dorothy, along with her husband Russ, have been special friends for many years. Dorothy and Russ, along with Aneta and Royal McKay, were members of the Mr. and Mrs. Group at Trinity Methodist Church. Both Dorothy and Aneta met their husbands at Trinity. The Mr. and Mrs. Group is still meeting after approximately 65 years for lunch. New members have joined, bringing new life to the group.
Dorothy was always strong member of the Mr. and Mrs. Group and we will miss her. She always had jokes and a bright spirit. She was so much fun to be with! RIP Dorothy. God Bless You!
The Plybons were such good neighbors on Garfield Street. Dorothy was one of my mother's closest friends and we loved playing at their house growing up. After our mother died, I maintained a connection with Dorothy and enjoyed hearing about their growing family. I will miss her laugh, her jokes and her friendship. Love to Steven and Jerry.
To the Plybon Family,
I lived on South Garfield Street, Denver, while all the kids on the block attended the rounds from Cory Elementary, Merrill Junior High, and South High. Your family was a wonderful anchor through all those years on walks to school, Halloween and other special events. I send my condolences and prayers, grieving with you and for you. It brings a smile to my face, however, to remember so many good times with the Plybons.
I send my best wishes to all…..Gayle
My heart just broke!
Gloria and Dorothy have stayed friends since their babies were babies!
Just can not express the overwhelming amount of loss. We are grateful for her many gifts- as she touched so many people and gave so much of who she was.
Her never ending laughter, smiles and tenderness stay with us causing us too to smile and laugh- thanks Dorothy.
I just don't know how to tell Gloria of this loss.This is a hard one!!!
