She taught high school economics for six years in Michigan, as well as teaching for two years at Anna High School. During that time, Dorothy earned her Master's Degree in Home Economics from Michigan State University. She also studied theology in Illinois.

For nine years, she served as Assistant State Supervisor of Home Economics and State Advisor for the Ohio Future Homemakers of America. Dorothy later returned to work in a variety of support positions for Wilson Memorial Hospital, Shelby County Youth Services and Dorothy Love Retirement Community, among others.
