DOROTHY IRENE (BENSON) HULL

SHE WAS AHEAD OF HER TIME, AND A FORWARD THINKER. SHE WAS A GOOD MENTOR, AND BEST FRIEND. SHE WAS THE ONE TO GO TO WHEN ANYTHING GOT TOUGH, SHE ALWAYS SEEMED TO HAVE THE ANSWER OR THE RIGHT SOLUTION. SHE WAS THE ONE TO GO TO WHEN YOU WANTED ADVICE, WITHOUT JUDGMENT, SHE WAS THE ONE TO GO TO WHEN ALL YOU WANTED WAS A BIG HUG. SHE WAS THE ONE YOU WENT TO WHEN YOU NEEDED TO VENT OR JUST TALK FOR HOURS. SHE WAS TRULY THE ONE. SHE WAS THE ONLY ONE.

THERE WAS A SMALL GATHERING TO CELEBRATE AND REMEMBER HER LIFE ON THURSDAY, JUNE 11TH AT 5 PM, AT THE SPRING LAKE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH. IN LIEU OF FLOWERS PLEASE SEND DONATIONS TO ST. JUDE FOUNDATION IN HER NAME.
