Dorothy Eleanor Rosensteel

  General Notes:

Aunt Dot was the youngest child of Helen and Levi Rosensteel, Jr. She married LeRoy Hough on October 4, 1939.
Being the first grandchild and niece on my Mother's side, it was only natural that I bonded with Aunt Dot, my Mother's sister. She loved to have dinners at her home on Melvin Drive, especially Christmas and the Fourth of July picnics. She would invite all of the close relatives, (about 20) and we always had a good time. Food was plentiful and we played croquet in their backyard. The older people played Canasta, while the younger ones played games. Sometimes we even had sparklers and small fireworks. She took an interest in everything you did.
She took up the art of china painting, a hobby she learned from her aunt, Elizabeth Rosensteel Ross. She diligently studied and took lessons from a lady in Brentwood. She perfected her talent that she, herself, became a teacher and my Mother took lessons from her. She was a talented artist. Other hobbies included knitting, sewing, crocheting, and quilting.
Following the death of Uncle LeRoy in November 1987, she moved to Greenville PA in 1990 to St. Paul Homes, a retirement community affiliated with the United Church of Christ.

Dorothy married Edwin Leroy Hough, son of Edwin Russell Hough and Anna Mae Miller, on 5 Oct 1939. (Edwin Leroy Hough was born on 15 Jul 1914 and died on 28 Nov 1987.)
