Dottie and my cousin Steve had married and she instantly became my cousin as well. I’ve been in Southern CA for many years, but we stayed in touch and I loved her dearly. Her blessed Christi and Steve are also forever in my heart  ✝️ 💟

Dot you will be missed.... We only met once  in  Morgantown at an event and swapped Facebook names..

Dot was the first to wish me Happy Birthday on facebook every year since we met in 2016

Thank you Dot ...your special kindness I will celebrate .

Im so sorry Ginny and Family for your loss....

So I met Dot over FB thru a mutual friend. We all lost children and our hearts are connected. I never met her in person, but it was on my bucket list to someday do just that. I was devastated to hear the news of her passing. Here is what Dot did for my broken soul after losing my 25 year old son. Through her story of losing her son, Steve, and then her daughter Chriisti, she continued living. She showed me she had happiness, she could laugh, she had hopes and dreams. She showed me, after the grief she endured on a daily basis, life could continue. I used to whisper to myself, "If Dot can do this .....so can I" Her inner strength helped me survive ❤. Thank you Dot Duffer, I hope to god you are with your children. 

Dot was a fearless business owner, a loyal friend, and a straight shooter in the very best sense. If she loved you, you knew it. If she didn’t, you probably knew that too, but she was always fair, always genuine, and always true to herself.

Her impact will never fully be known on this side of heaven, but it is deeply felt by so many of us.

To Gennie, thank you for loving Dot so fiercely and for always having her back. The love you shared was evident to everyone who knew her.

She will be missed more than words can say.

We are so sorry to of the passing of a truly amazing friend. Dot was always able to make us smile. RIP

I am so sorry to hear this news. She was a wonderful person who will be remembered and missed by many.

Dot was my friend, a mother to me, a shining example of strength and courage. We spent the better part of the last two years together, as I had the great honor of being her daily caregiver. We laughed every day. She shared stories that would make anyone blush…what a life she lived!! I will carry her with me forever. I love you Dot!! 

I am so sorry to hear of Dot’s passing.  She was truly one of kind, and will be missed by many and by our entire community.  Lots of sympathy to Gennie, and family. ❤️

Oh Gennie, I'm so sorry to read this news. Dot and I became friends when Christi and my son James became band friends. After Christi's death, one of Dottie's first calls was to Chip Buck, their middle school band director, and one of her asks of Chip was to "call James and let him know." She continued to support James in all of his musical endeavors over the years, and would ask me when he was playing around Morgantown so she could attend. After your move to SC, I would send her online links so she could continue to follow his performances. Naturally, after reading the news about Dot, I immediately let James know.  She truly was one of his biggest fans, and I loved her dearly. It's comforting to know she's been reunited with Christi and Steve, but I know that can't take away the ache in your heart. She had a zest for life, and I hope the years of memories you made together will sustain you in the weeks and months ahead. 

Dot will always remain the beautiful and transcendent soul everyone who has ever met her knows. She was the true essence of  “ to know her was to love her” and I feel so lucky to have spent even a little time with her. Rest easy, beautiful Dot. My condolences to all that loved to her. Big hug to you, Gennie 🤍🫶🏻🕯️🕊️
