I knew Dorletta from our days at Pannill Knitting factory. Loved talking with her as she always had such an outgoing personality. I also remember she was proud of all her children (had no grandchildren during the time I had the most contact with her). I know you (the family) will cherish the good memories made. You all are in our thoughts and prayers.
