I am just learning of Dotti's death. As I waited for a Christmas card this year and not receiving one I thought maybe she was running late. I emailed her and called the number I had and neither worked. When I still didn't have a card today I knew something was wrong. That's when I searched for an obit. I am sitting here in sadness and tears. I loved Dotti very much. I've known her since a was a young girl, spending nights with her and her then husband, Dick. I was their adopted daughter for live. We shared a number of family Christmas parties together that my parents would have. She was always so good to me over the years. I'm so sad to have lost such a wonderful woman and friend. To the Clark family I send you my love and prayers. I have met a few of you years ago. I'm so sorry for your loss. Maria Koenig in Kent, Washington.
Dotti was my friend of over 40 years. We worked together for 6 years at Dr Tueffers office. We stayed in touch with letters and phone calls after I left that employer. She always made me laugh. I miss you friend already.
Dotti was a very dear friend of mine. We met in 1977 when I started working with her at Dr. Paul Tueffers office. We bonded immediately. It was a small office so she and I spent a lot of time together. We worked together for 10 years, during which time there were lots of shopping together, dining out and Seahawks games in our free time. After she moved to Florida in 1987 we kept in contact through cards, letters, phone calls and emails. She called me in late June to let me know she was in a rehab facility and not able to walk. When she found out my mother had just passed away, she apologized all over the place for the fact that she was not able to get out to send me a card! That was Dotti Clark! So giving and caring always. She never forgot a birthday or anniversary, always sending a card or making a phone call. I will miss those letters and phone calls so much. Dotti, Thank you for being such a special person in my life all of these years and may you rest in peace.
Always in my heart,
Gayle
Dotti, you aways treated me like ano made my childhood in California, Oregon and Washington memorable. Your smile, laugh and kindness will always be remembered.

It's so poignant to see photos of my cousin Dotti's beautiful life. Her father Ed and his brother Bob (my father) each had one child...Dotti in 1942 and me in 1956. We spent a lot of time together in the years after I was born because she was the family babysitter! By the time I was old enough to remember much she had moved to California and my folks moved to Europe. Apart from a few gatherings in the mid-70s, the Davis brothers and their families didn't see much of each other.
After losing all our parents in the early 2000s, Dotti and I began communicating frequently. We called ourselves the "Last of the Mohicans" because the Davis line stops with the two of us. In 2009, Dotti started using email, so we added that to our phone talks and letters.
It's wonderful to finally meet the Clark children who were such an important part of Dotti's life. Dotti was also a wonderful and caring daughter who brightened Ed and Marion's golden years. I see her father and my father so clearly in her smiling face. I ended up looking like my mother. Go figure!
I know Dotti leaves many dear friends behind who will miss her as much as her children and I. A quote by John Taylor (1808-1887) gives us a more positive perspective: "While we are mourning the loss of our friend, others are rejoicing to meet her behind the veil."
May Dotti be blessed in joyful reunion with her folks, family, friends, and her beloved dog Muffie who preceded her. She was a wonderful woman and cousin. We will miss her.

Dear Wayne, Rick, Becky, and Chris,
Dotti was my dearest friend. We met in high school. We "tooled" around in her convertible, eating french fries, drinking root beer, and meeting boys at the Twin Kiss in Clayton! We had a running game of canasta all through high school - even skipped senior prom to play! Dotti was maid of honor at my wedding and we have kept in touch all these many years through gifts at birthdays and Christmas and phone calls. As sick as Dotti was, she managed to call and leave me a message that she was okay during the recent hurricane - I still have her message on my answering machine.
Even though we hadn't physically seen each other all these years (55), we remained in each other's hearts. I will miss her.
