Dorrine, known to many as Ditty, mom, auntie, grandma, and great grandma, always insisted that she would make it to her 100th birthday, and when Dorrine insisted on doing something, she accomplished it. She greatly enjoyed her 100th birthday celebrations, surrounded by family and dear friends. Dorrine graduated from East Stanwood High School in 1943 and she graduated with Honors from Washington State University in 1947 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Bacteriology and Public Health.

Dorrine and William made Woodinville their home where they raised their three children and joyfully took part in the upbringing of their many grandchildren. Dorrine deeply enjoyed teaching and sharing her passions with her children and grandchildren, which included photography, bird watching, traveling, and hiking the trails at Mount Rainier. All those who had the pleasure of knowing her were endlessly impressed by her impeccable memory, specifically for dates and times of memorable life events and her unwavering faith in God.
