In 1972, Dorothy met and married Wesley Heavilin. Together they enjoyed social events such as potlucks and spending time with family and friends. She enjoyed camping with Wesley and canning vegetables from his garden.
Dorothy was generous in her giving for the Lord's work. One of her favorite pastimes was attending and watching videos of Southern Gospel quartets, singers, and the Bill Gaither program. She enjoyed crafts and helped with craft fairs for missions. She was quick to trust and depend on God. Her regret as illness progressed, was missing church services.
