I was lucky i got to meet Doretta when my mom was gravely ill in Windsor Care Center in 2011. One day Doretta and i laughed and laughed as she was trying to catch up to a beetle in her wheelchair to smash it! from that day on i'd ask her if she'd been racing any bugs lately whenever i saw her. she was a neat lady who i enjoyed talking to. she knew many of my relatives from around fredericksburg and sumner areas. my condolences to your family. paula marks

Doretta was.a very neat lady that I was lucky enough to get to know! She will be greatly missed by many. My favorite memories were as her home health nurse as we had many funny conversations and I found it a challenge to gett in the door without her birds getting out. Hugs to Fritter and his family :)
