Death

Having officially retired from acting, Dorothy moved with her new husband, William, to Fort Lauderdale, Florida, in 1967, where they settled down and lived near the beach. In 1982, Dorothy was diagnosed with cancer from years of smoking. The doctors only gave her another two years to live, however she managed to live for another 9 years, outliving a few of the doctors who gave her the diagnosis.

In 1991, Dorothy died peacefully in her sleep beside her husband William. He awoke to find her holding him and smiling. She was laid to rest in Forest Lawns Memorial Cemetery in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Her husband William joined her a few years later.
