Dorothy Tracy wasn’t scared.
She wasn’t nervous about starting a business with very few funds to her and her husband’s name. She wasn’t worried about how they would raise 12 children in a poor economy. She just did it. She made do with what they had, and she persevered during difficult times because of her strong faith in God and her trust that Robert knew what he was doing.
Before her passing in late March 2020, Dorothy’s greatest pride was raising a good family that would take care of their family business and their employees. “I hope our legacy will be that we have improved the welfare of a little town that welcomed us with open arms in 1952,” Dorothy said in her living tribute video, “and that we raised 12 wonderful Christian children who continue to follow our dream.”
