I have such fond memories of Dorothy from when I was a young man working at Elles Rd New World, and helping her with some weddings she was photographing. She was the warmest and kindest lady. Rest in peace, Dorothy.

To Rod, Dixie, Anna and families,
We are so sorry to hear of Dorothy´s passing. Marty and I worked with Dorothy at New World. She was a beautiful, kind and loving lady who touched our lives in so many ways. We also had the good fortune to have her as a photographer at our wedding. When my sister passed she turned up to my home, hugged me and said I don´t know what to say or do - I just know I had to be here. It meant the world to me then - and now, and I retell that story often. Vale Dorothy. You were a true friend and you will forever hold a place in our hearts. Love Jac and Marty Peters xx

To Dixie, Rod and Anna and all your family. Barry and I were so privileged to have had Dorothy as our office manager at Elles Road new world. So full of wisdom, kindness, common sense and a rapport with all of her co workers being a mentor for them and giving such good advice when needed. She was our wingman running the office and having a great understanding of all the changes we were faced with, with new technology.
A fabulous photographer and in such demand for weddings and birthdays. She always spoke so highly of you all. We are so sorry for your loss and feel so lucky to have enjoyed her company over 25 years in the supermarket. RIP beautiful lady.
Marie and Barry Patton xx

Saddened to learn of the sad loss of your beautiful Mum. She was truly a lovely lady always with a kind word and lovely smile. I have many fond memories of Dumbarton Pl and her photography. My thoughts are with you all as you navigate through this difficult time.
