She worked at General Motors where she later left and ended up on disability. She proclaimed Christ at an early age and attended Solid Rock Church. She loved to play cards and watch anything that pertained to Steve Harvey, especially Family Feud. She enjoyed spending time with her grand babies and was looking forward to them coming this Thanksgiving. She enjoyed listening to music, dancing and sitting around her friends laughing and joking. Dot was very loving but would let you know what was on her mind whether you liked it or not.

She later divorced and eventually moved to Indianapolis, Indiana with her daughter in 2000. Four years later she met Idalis Dillard (Dee Dee) a man who was totally there for her during good and bad times. His devotion to her was undeniable and greatly appreciated.

Her memory shall forever be cherished by her Sister, Joann Prince, Brother, Johnny Ballard, her 3 kids, step daughter, 25 Grandchildren, 27 Great Grandchildren and a host of nieces, nephews and other relatives and friends.
