She married Jim Breedlove in McAlester, Oklahoma on Sept. 20, 1951. For many years, she cared for her children by herself while her husband Jim was a sailor overseas. She also held many odd jobs during that time while her kids were in school.

Dortha sold Tupperware for more than 20 years. As a Tupperware manager, her team was the “Polka Dots.” Dortha retired as a paraprofessional from the McAlester Public School System. She loved children and worked with the handicapped/special needs children in the public school. On Sept. 21, 2006, she saved the life of one these children by performing CPR. She often taught children’s Sunday school at her church. She was a very active member of the Church of Christ and active in Veteran’s Day activities.

In her spare time, Dortha baked and decorated cakes for all occasions, made quilts, crocheted, and did all kinds of arts and crafts. She loved cooking when the family gathered together for holidays and other occasions.

Dortha always had a smile and a kind word for everyone. As the matriarch of the family, she distilled in her children discipline, ethics, faith in God, and good morals. She touched the lives of everyone she met and will be deeply missed by all who knew her.
