Dorothy was born April 24, 1927, in Streetman to James Holland and Sallie Mae (Blakley) Killingsworth. She retired from the Mexia State School after 20 years of service in the Recreation Department.

Dorothy devoted her life to loving the Lord, family and friends. She was not only a loving and devoted mother, grandmother and great-grandmother; she also dearly loved her siblings.  Dorothy and her sisters spent endless hours talking to each other on the phone. She enjoyed spending as much time as possible with her son, grandchildren and great-grandchildren, especially on holidays. Dorothy attended church faithfully until her health began failing; she was a member of the Calvary Baptist Church.

Dorothy was a very good cook, her specialty was chocolate pies, and according to her family, they were the best. She liked crafts, crocheting, needlepoint and making blankets for family members.

She was preceded in death by her parents; husbands, Nathan Bedford McKee and Ernest Roberts; son, Larry Don McKee; siblings, Allie Just, Dennis Killingsworth, Lorene Just, Lennie Sandifer and Retha; and several nieces and nephews.

Dorothy is survived by her grandsons, Larry Don McKee, Jr. and Nathan Charles McKee; great-grandchildren, Samantha Taga, Lucas McKee, Brett McKee and Melody Tosh; stepson, Glenn Roberts; and nieces, Ruth McKethan, Louise Jones, Laquitta Jones, Sabre Jones and Anita Patterson.
