    We met Dorie through her son, our good friend, John. Dorie was always a pleasure to visit with and John often told us of her long time work at the bakery and we would also see her and Paul up here in Great Falls at the car shows. She was known and loved by many, many friends. Our hearts go out to John, Wende, Colton and Dorie’s entire family and friends. May she rest in peace.

    There are so many memories that I have not only of Dorie but of Paul. Going out gambling and having drinks with Dorie were the best times. Then when she started playing darts with me Aunt Jessie, Carol, Connie and Sally man we had so much fun. The car shows me and Sally would go to with Paul Bobby Dorie and Diane were some great summer we had that I’ll never forget. I Love You Dorie and Paul and we’ll never ever forget you♥️♥️♥️
