Dorothy lived with her grandmother Groat in Chatham during her early childhood, and attended St. Michael's Academy.

Dorothy practiced in Chatham, N.B. as a sole practitioner and as a Crown Attorney. She practised in Ontario with Jeffery and Jeffery of London; and Solway Wright in Ottawa; and as the first female General Counsel to the Toronto Port Authority, from which she retired in 1997. In Toronto she was active in theatrical, educational, architectural and historical activities. She volunteered with the Daily Bread Food Bank, St. Michael's Hospital and other community-based charities. Dorothy was an avid traveler all her life.
