Dotti was born in Los Angeles, Calif. during an earthquake and left this world from Bend, Ore. in the aftermath of a near record breaking snowstorm.

She lived her life as a devout Lutheran and a warm, loving person who touched many lives. Her passing was preceded by her first husband and both her boys.

She is survived by her current husband Glen Core, daughters, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. A celebration of her life is being planned for June in Grayland, Wash.

As the energetic, sassy matriarch of her family, she will be dearly missed.
