Dodie served the community as a 4-H sewing leader, member of the Farm Bureau Women’s Club, and Homemakers. She later became a teacher’s aide at Raymond School in Franksville.
Dodie had many interests, including her love of traveling. She has been to England, France, Germany, Holland, Finland, Norway, Denmark, Italy, Greece, Egypt, the Holy Land, and many of the states. Some of her other interests were gardening, bird watching, reading, and spending time with her family that she dearly loved.
