She was a member of New Providence Baptist Church in Loudon. Dollie received her LPN degree at the age of 50.

Among her many talents was being the first lady truck driver, first lady crane operator, and she worked as a waitress in earlier years. She loved the mountains and the outdoors. Her favorite season was summer when she could lay out in the sun. Her favorite flowers were sunflowers & daisies, especially the yellow ones. Dollie was a wonderful cook and enjoyed making her own recipes. She also loved her coffee and enjoyed sitting around with her coffee group of friends. She was also great at sewing and crocheting.

She will definitely be missed by all who knew and loved her.
