She is survived by her daughters, Lynda Dance Heithaus (Gregory) and Deborah Dance Royall (Jesse); brother, John Anderson; grandchildren, Rebecca, Jay, Kimberley, Mark, Brandon, Pamela, Matthew and Amy; and ten great grandchildren. Dorothy was preceded in death by her husband of almost 61 years, Wilton A Dance and her brother, Rev. Charles P. Anderson, Jr. Dorothy was her husband”s pride and joy. After attending James Madison University, she married upon Wilton”s discharge from the Army and spent her life being a devoted wife and homemaker. She enjoyed cooking for her family, keeping a clean home, and baking. She was known for her pies and cakes.

Dorothy was an amazing lady. She was kind and had a great sense of humor. She was a wonderful role model to us and a faithful and loving friend to my parents. Sadden by her passing, but comforted to know she has been reunited with I’m sure, a joyful Wilton.
