She was preceded in death by her parents, husband, a daughter, Mona Ellen Smith, 3 sisters, Mabel Fry, Ruby “Jean” Murray-Carlyle, and Joyce “Sue” Winters; 5 brothers, Thomas Fry, Herschel Fry, Roy Fry, Andrew “Dale” Fry, and James Fry; and a great-grandchild, Micah Heflin.
Dorothy had previously resided in Joliet, Gibson City, Clay City, Olney, and Springfield. Her final resting place will be in Clay City Cemetery next to her true love, Bill, and daughter, Mona.
