Dorothy was born August 12, 1926 to Samuel H. and Lulu Grace (Worley) Frost. She was a graduate of Stephens College. She is predeceased by the love of her life, Charles D.

Dorothy was a member of The Women’s Chamber of Commerce and the Plaza Executive and Business Women’s Association. Dorothy had a long successful career as a Bridal Consultant for Sherri Bridals and The Jones Store. She served in leadership roles, often rising to the role of President, in a number of organizations including The Women’s City Club, Trinity Hospital Women’s Auxiliary, Scandinavian Club Auxiliary (now Scandinavian Women’s Society), Stephens College Alumnae Association, Daughters of the American Revolution, and both the Fireside and Vanderslice committees of the Kansas City Art Institute. Her involvement continued at Kingswood where she served on the Women’s Auxiliary Board and as a Kingswood Ambassador. She was a 55 year member of First Lutheran Church and over the past 5 years was a dedicated volunteer at Blessings Abound Thrift Store. Dorothy hosted the House of Santa Mouse Christmas Boutique for the last 41 years, crafting beautifully handmade felt mice dressed for any occasion; a hobby that brought great joy to many. She was dedicated to her family and friends and will be truly missed.
