There is a side story: When Dorothy was readied after her death fortransport from Santa Barbara, CA. to Indiana for her funeral andburial, her daughter Joan left California at the same time, andexpected Dorothy in her casket to arrive at the same airport at nearlythe same time in Indianapolis, IN. ; However, when Joan and Joyce(dau.) inquired at the Indianapolis Airport (Joyce drove to pick Joanup at the airport) if Dorothy had arrived on time, she had been lost!Her casket was not transported on the same plane as her daughter hadbeen on. The plane that Dorothy was on had been re-routed to anotherdestination-Canada. It took some time and some tense negotiations,but Dorothy was eventually found, and did arrive on time for herservices that were scheduled for Tuesday morning. Later, from anervous release, the comment was made: "Mother was almost late to herown funeral. And knowing Mother, if she were aware of things, shewould have gotten a laugh out of what happened."
