Dorothy or “Mammy” as she was called by those who loved her; was a walking lesson in work ethics. She was Food Service Director at Bloomington High School and Head of Housekeeping at Legget Memorial Hospital. She retired from Port Arthur I.S.D. She worked hard all of her life. After retirement, Mammy loved working in the flower garden, reading and going to movies. Mrs. Hutto volunteered many, many hours at the Community Center in Cleveland. She also loved spending time with her grandkids, great-grandkids, and great-great-grandkids. When it was time for Mammy to go home; a chorus of, “It’s my turn to go!” Could be heard from all the kids. Everyone wanted to stay at Manny’s house; and she always happily obliged.

Dorothy Hutto has left a great legacy behind her. Because of her, numerous youth have become involved in rodeo. All of her grandkids have learned the power of unconditional love; and if you were one of the lucky people who got to eat one of her yeast rolls, you know what pure bliss is.
We will all surely miss our Mammy. Those people in Heaven are lucky to have her. She was one of a kind.

They went above and beyond to love and care for Mammy and us.In lieu of flowers, the family request donations be made in Memory of Dorothy E.
