Dorothy M Herndon

Dorothy Mae Herndon,83, obtained her angel wings on Tuesday October 30th at the Woodlands Nursing Home where she had made her home for the last 18 months.

She loved to crochet, sew and making dolls. She loved to camp but most of all she loved her family and spending time with them.

Dorothy is survived by daughter Robin (Bobbie) husband Jay Carter of Cowan, daughter Teresa husband Bill Whicker of New Port Richey, FL and son Tom wife Susan Lee of Royerton. Several grandchildren and great grandchildren, and a brother Jerry wife Sandy Essex of Southern IN.
