I worked with Dollie at Beaumont State Center many years ago, and going back even further I knew her at Stephen F. Austin State University, where we both lived in the same dorm for a semester. It was never dull when Dollie was around--she was always a lot of fun. Condolences to the family.

I knew Dollie from the B.S..C. She was a character. Lost contact with her when she left Beaumont.

Respite and Dollie, great memories. You were a friend and coworker. Rest now, see you in the morning when we meet again.

Dollie was one of a kind. We celebrated our birthdays in October, we laughed about not being married and how our husbands were killed in Viet Nam (we were of that age), and our mutual love of cats. Sweet lady. She rests with God now.

I met Dollie at Beaumont State Center in 1985. She and I formed an immediate friendship and we have kept in touch all through the years. We've spent many happy times together and drew very close again during these last four years of her life. Dollie touched many lives and made many friends along the way. She will be greatly missed by all who were blessed to know her.. Well done thy good and faithful servant - see you again one day!

Rest in peace Dollie. No more paperwork worries.
