She was united in marriage to Raymond Dickey on October 20, 1960. They had one adopted son, Michael.
Dorothy was converted in 1936, and in 1950, received a Pentecostal experience with The Lord. She was in Evangelistic Services and Vacation Bible School in 1957 and 1958. She got her Ministerial License in The Full Gospel Ministry and had a radio broadcast on KNIM for 4-5 years. She graduated from Grant City High School in 1943 and taught the Jackson First Class School that fall in 1943. She taught several terms of rural school, then decided on secretarial work in offices. She was secretary for the County Agent shortly before her marriage, at that time, accepting the Nodaway-Worth 2-way radio service in her home. This was the office work for her husband’s employment. She had this service in her home until 1972, when Raymond had a heart attack and retired from REA employment.
