Dorothy was born on August 30, 1941, in Blanchard Oklahoma to Jesse Quinton and Ruth Selmer (Woods) Findley.
Dorothy married, Velter Dane Putman, the love of her life, in 1958 at the Baptist Church in Goldsby, Oklahoma. They were happily married for almost 65 years before his passing in January.
Dorothy was a proud member of the Washington High School Class of 1959. This group remained close and she enjoyed spending time with them and going to lunch together.
Dorothy worked for Liberty Drug for a time. She retired from the University of Oklahoma where she was a housekeeping supervisor for thirty years.
She and Dane were active members of Westwood Baptist Church where she served as the church clerk for many years. She loved traveling and all of the adventures she had with Dane, William, Donnie, Jimmy and Dorothy. She also enjoyed bowling and doing crotchet. Most of all she loved her family! Until Dane’s illness, Dorothy never missed an event that involved her kids or grandkids. She will be greatly missed by all that knew her.
