Born in Manhattan, later moving to West Islip, NY; Davenport, FL; and living her last 5 years Wayne, she was the daughter of Henry and Elizabeth (Krug) Griebling. Dorothy was very much dedicated to her church, serving on the Vestry; the Altar Guild; as a Choir Mother; in Prayer groups; and managing the Church Thrift Store to raise funds for her parish at St Mark's Episcopal in Haines City, FL.

In her spare time, Dorothy enjoyed making crafts for her family and friends.
