She was born October 4, 1926, in Alliance to Marion and Jeannette (Mercer) Ruff and resided in Alliance all of her life.

She had the gift of care and encouragement and is well known for her card ministry; visitation of the sick; and food preparation. She was a past volunteer for "Meals on Wheels". Her lasting achievement is the love and nurture of her family.

Graham.
In addition, Dorothy has two surviving sisters, Shirley R. Webb and Karen A. Wolfe both of Alliance.

.The cords of death entangled me, the anguish of the grave came upon me; I was overcome by trouble and sorrow.
Then I called on the name of the LORD: "O LORD, save me!" The LORD is gracious and righteous; our God is full of compassion.
The LORD protects the simple hearted; when I was in great need, he saved me.
Psalm 116
