Main St. Pearland TX. The funeral service will be Tuesday February 5, 2019 at 10 am also at South Park Funeral Home. Dora, Dorita, or Lita as her grand kids would call her was a kindhearted soul, who had a smile for everyone, and made everyone feel at home. She was very involved in her church Lakewood Church. She enjoyed her time working at Air Products in Pasadena and learned a lot about the chemical industry. She made this evident everytime we had to wait for a train coming down highway 3. She would read the side of the rail car and say things like oh that ones soda ash and that one belongs to UTLX and on and on. We were never bored waiting on a train. She loved to spend time with her grandchildren, gardening, decorating, and of course baking. Dora loved to bake, she would make cakes and cookies for everyone. She is our mother and we are biased and we shouldn’t eat sweets because we are sweet enough already but the cakes and cookies she made were the best cakes and cookies we have ever had. We will only give recipes out on a "knead" to know basis. She also loved gardening. She was always outside watering her plants especially her roses. Her favorite flower was a yellow rose and she was so good at gardening that both her thumbs were green. Instead of Miracle Grow all she needed was Miracle Grote. She will be sorely missed. On the subject of flowers, they can be sent to South Park Funeral Home at 1310 N. Main St. Pearland, TX.
