Dorothy was united in marriage to Carroll Thomas Jacobson on Aug. 15, 1946.

In 1972 she started working part time for the Hollandale Post Office, becoming post master in 1978 and retired in 1989 under protest. She truly enjoyed her job, but Tom was ready to head south for the winter. They wintered 26 wonderful years in Sun City.
