Dori’s most prized and celebrated canine was a Great Dane named Parker. In Tucson Dori also enjoyed biking, playing golf with her dad, and encountering male and female professional golfers. After moving to Southern California Dori became a valued and respected substitute teacher in the Menifee School District.

Her remains were laid to rest in a family plot at Toledo Memorial Park in Sylvania, Ohio.
