I only met Dorothy a few times, but she was a wonderful lady. My family also went to Dr. Staab (her son) for years and lived in the same neighborhood. Then my son and family lived next door to Dorothy for quite a few years. One Christmas when we were at their house, she brought over some of her caramel popcorn. It was the best we'd ever eaten! (Hopefully she passed down the recipe). I was in the habit of taking her my books after I'd read them. She will be greatly missed.
I only met Dorothy a few times, but she was always a very sweet lady. My family all went to Dr. Staab for a long time and lived in the same neighbor-hood. He was a wonderful & caring man as well as great doctor. Our son & his family lived next door to Dorothy for quite a few years.

Dorothy & Murray were good friends of my mother's, Rose Becton,from University Methodist Church. I grew up in that church too, and knew of the Staabs since they were so active in church activities. Then when I got married and we bought our 1st house, it ended up being right next door to the Staabs on Canton! I was so thrilled! Dorothy was my children's 1st babysitter, as she would watch them for me on occasion. I remember the old black iron kettle she kept by the fireplace with toys in it for kids to play with when they came over. And she was SO proud of those gradnchildren of hers, always talking about them! I was happy to see how often they came over and how well they took care of her after Murray passed away. She was a very special person in my life, and I have such fond memories of her.
I had the pleasure of meeting Mrs. Staab last December. She was a lovely lady. My mother and I wanted to meet her because her son, Robert, was our family doctor for several years. We thought the world of Dr. Staab; he was friendly and caring.
