A few years later Dot and George relocated to Katy, TX to be closer to their children and grandchildren. Dot's life was a joy and she lived with great enthusiasm and Christian passion. In her later years she could be found reading the Bible, sharing God's Word, on the computer, watching Fox News or listening to Elvis or the Gaithers'. "Mimi" as her grandchildren affectionately called her will deeply be missed. She was a great server of people and others saw Jesus in her actions daily.
