Additionally, Dot and her sister arranged beautiful floral arrangements for the church. These arrangements were gathered from neighbors’ flower gardens or wildflowers. An avid seamstress and quilter, Dot won awards for her beautiful works. She was industrious and designed and built her home. Dot loved nature. She loved helping others. She loved her travels. She had a dry sense of humor that kept you laughing at the least little things. But most of all, she loved her daughter. She is survived by her daughter and son-in-law. Dr. Pamela and John Rawls; a sister Doris Fowler Hawkins; a nephew Mike Fowler (Kay) and a niece, Robin Fowler Morgan (Tripp).
