In December of 2002 and 2003 she was recognized for her dedicated service from Help at Home through Life Care Alliance. These are just to name a few. Everything that Doretha set her mind to do she did it with excellence. She definitely had a servant's heart. Doretha could be found working in her garden and growing her beautiful flowers.
