Many will remember meals she lovingly prepared. She loved to cook for others and watch them enjoy every bite! Dori had a talent of making even the simplest dishes extra special. Dori loved to go camping and would spend weeks making every camp site a home away from home. Her home and her family were the most important parts of her life. She took great joy in making a loving home where many years of memories have been made. She was very active with the American Legion, even becoming the Auxiliary President for many years. Dori will be greatly missed by family and friends who loved her. Arrangements are under the care of Schnackenberg Funeral Home of Libby, MT.
