After spending years searching for a church to which she could fully devote her life to her savior, she and Howard were baptized in July of 1952 and remained faithful members of the Church of Jesus Christ Latter-Day Saints. Her excitement motivated her to share her joy with many throughout the rest of her life. She and Howard were joined in their membership by other family members including her sister and her parents. In addition to other calls to serve in the Church, Dorothy and Howard served in the San Diego, Calif., Mission, and in the St. Louis, Mo., Temple of the Church.
