She enjoyed spending her time watching the eagles soar overhead and fishing off the back of their boat. Dorothy and Bruce also enjoyed fishing for monstrous Halibut and crabbing for Alaskan King Crab. Dorothy spent her free time doing crosswords, reading, and playing Bingo. Most of all, Dorothy loved spending time with her family.
