Dot was a trendsetter, a woman ahead of her time starting in her 20's and all through her life. She loved antiquing, ballroom dancing at some of the great dance halls on the east coast, theater and travel, whether on a road trip, air travel or on a cruise ship.


She was also a faithful lifelong member in her church, Union Presbyterian in Carney's Point.

Dot was also an active volunteer Docent at the Pennsville Township Historical Society.


AND…she was the biggest sports enthusiast of the Horn / Moriarty / Crane family. She LOVED her Phillies and the E-A-G-L-E-S!!!


Dot had a very generous spirit and expressed that by donating her time and money to her church, the Historical Society and numerous charities.
