After her mother died when she was seven years old, Dorothy went to live with her dear aunt, Annis Reed Kamp (Carl). She graduated from San Mateo High School, San Mateo, California in 1950. Later that year she married Jerrold Bradley Wilson on October 14, 1950. His military career took them to various places including California, Florida, Tennessee, Guam and her favorite Hawaii. Always supportive of her children in school classes, PTA’s and Scouting, she also had several jobs, businesses, and volunteer work through the years. She loved meeting people and made friends easily. She could light up a room with her bright and beautiful smile. Family and friends were what she treasured most of all and she is greatly missed by many!
