Born July 3, 1920, in Meridian, Texas, Dorothy was the daughter of Henry Lewis and Hulda Lois (Wickman) Cox.

She was an active member of the First United Methodist Church of Rotan. A homemaker, she was very proud of her family, and never missed a sporting event her children, grandchildren, or great-grandchildren were participating in.
