Dolly loved Jesus.  She lived her faith by her service to her church and her community. She was a founding member of a support group for heart patients to support Walter’s health.  She was a volunteer for many years at Strong Memorial hospital, first in the playroom for spinal bifida patients, and then in the family waiting room.  She and Walter volunteered with SOWERs, and loved to travel.

One of the ministries that Walter and Dolly were involved with in their retirement was SOWERs.  Sowers is a volunteer ministry for people who stay in their own RV or camper, and volunteer for all kinds of projects across the United States. The acronym stands for Servants of Wheels Ever Ready. https://www.sowerministry.org/

They pulled their camper to all kinds of places, serving in various ways from housekeeping to construction, from student mentoring (Dolly) to lawn mower repair (Walter).
