Dodie loved to travel, European river boat cruises in particular. She was a social butterfly and active in the community where she taught Children's religious education classes at her local Catholic parish in San Antonio and volunteered at Wilford Hall Eye Clinic for over thirty years.

Dodie had a flair for entertaining! At Blue Skies of Texas West, her home for over twenty years, she established a monthly neighborhood party in her cul-de-sac, which continues today. She had a soft spot in her heart for animals and was part of the Vista Healthcare Dog Walking Team. She was active in the Air Force Village Catholic Community, a volunteer at the Thrift Shop in charge of all furniture sales for years, organized and operated the annual Cowboy Breakfast and hot dog refreshments for the Blue Skies of Texas 4th of July celebration. Everyone that knew Dodie loved her! Her favorite activities included rooting for the Oakland Raiders and San Antonio Spurs, listening to Johnny Cash, gardening, golf, needlepoint, and cherished time spent with family and friends.
