The family would like to extend special thanks, prayers and love to the Hospice Caregivers and the Doctors and support members that stood by her and showed her their love and support to our family in our time of need. She truly was blessed for years under the care of Dr. Phister at CAMC and Dr. Oakley at Cabell Huntington Hospital. She talked about them daily as she treated them to lunches and loved the care they provided her. The Hospice caregivers were truly outstanding and we appreciated them letting her have her wish to come home. Her journey was made with comfort and love and all her wishes were granted. She will truly remain forever with us and guide and protect us until we meet again. Dodie will be cremated by Tri-State Cremation Society and Ceredo Kenova Funeral Home is entrusted with her care.
