• Notes

  RESI DATE 1 MAR 1994 RESI PLAC 3 Cambridge Court, Apt. 1, Michigan City, Indiana 46360 Social Security Number: 307-22-1235. She died in her sleep the night before Mary Jean's birthday. Mary Jean died the year before on Aunt Dorothy's birthday. Dorothy taught Home Economics at Purdue University. She was a wonderful cook, and did exquisite cross-stitching and needle-point work. She made her sister (Kathryn) a wonderful picture of her life, done in tiny cross-stitch--something certainly to “hand-down!” I loved Aunt Dorothy, but didn’t have to live near her. She was hard to be around just because she felt sorry for herself (her own worst enemy!) On the other hand she was very good hearted, and did many kind things for everyone. She was not completely honest with Mary Jean, but she did love her and felt sad and sorry for herself when Mary Jean did not “recipocate!” Dorothy loved Curt and his family, but again she was not easy for them to be around very long. She was good to me always; and my mother and she had wonderful times together.
