Early in life, she worked for National Car Rental. Later in life, she owned and operated Nearly New Consignment Shop in East Tupelo and retired from South Central Bell after working as a telephone operator for 31 years. Dot enjoyed telling stories of her basketball playing days at East Tupelo High school and how Elvis Presley loved eating her tea cakes when they were neighbors. She had a great love for animals, especially the stray cat at Coutrywood that she named Bitsy. She was a member of East Heights Baptist Church for many years until her declining health prevented her from attending.
