Dorothy always looked fashionable and sophisticated. Her love of shopping might explain why she always looked amazing. She spent many hours throughout the years attending athletic events that her sons were involved in and coached. Some of her favorite past times were spent playing Bridge, attending bible studies, eating out, spending time with her grandchildren, and traveling. In her lifetime she had traveled to all 50 states and many foreign countries. She also had a love for her dogs Duffy and Milo. Her career consisted of being the head bank teller at First National Bank in Harrison and working for Ozark Counseling before retiring. She was an active member of First Baptist Church and sang in the choir for many years. In her later years she attended Crossroads Community Church with her family.

Dorothy is preceded in death by her parents, her sister Sue Curtis, a daughter Donna Jean Cox, and her late husbands Dean Cox and Wayne Reese.

She is survived by her two sons and daughter-in-laws, Steve and Lori Cox and Doug and Kim Cox. Her grandchildren Kaylee (Maurice) Bankston, Tyler Cox, Emily (Cory) Martindale, and Courtney Cox. Two great grandchildren Colton Cox and Ellie Martindale.
