Dorothy was a loving mother and grandmother. She loved her family more than words can describe. She would do anything and everything to help those in need of it. From babysitting her grand babies to doing just about anything asked of her you would find her doing it with a smile on her face. Dorothy loved sewing and making something out of nothing. She thought that nothing should be thrown out because someone could make use of it. Everything in her eyes had a purpose. Along with sewing Dorothy always had her eyes glued to a western novel. She had the biggest passion for reading you would have thought she was watching a never ending movie. Before she got sick you would see her out fiddling around in her yard. Whether it was in her garden or babying her beloved grapefruit tree; she was doing something outdoors. Dorothy Sue (Cox) Hobbs was loved by many and will be greatly missed by her friends and family.

The family would like to thank Standard Hospice, the Nurses at Austin Cancer in Georgetown, and Dr. Benjamin Downie for their loving care.
