Dorothy married Alastair Clark in 1955 and they settled in England. They had two daughters, Kathleen and Fiona. Dorothy devoted her early married years to raising their children and actively serving in church groups. In 1975 they relocated to Connecticut. She expanded her volunteering role serving with Literacy Volunteers of America (LVA) for 20 years, working up to program chairman then Connecticut Board of Directors President. Among other awards, Dorothy received the Hartford Courant Recognition Award in Education in 1984. After retiring from LVA, she volunteered with Gifts of Love and latterly with Friends of Canton Public Library. She was also a member of Canton Center Congregational Church.
