Doyueline “Dot” Thomas was born September 14, 1935, to Roy and Bessie Harrison in Pattonville, TX. She married Travis “Buddy” Thomas. Dot worked for Plains Cotton Coop. and went on to work at Mr. Burger for many years. She loved to sit and reminisce about when all her kids were little and when Buddy was still with us. She would ask some of the kids, “do you remember when…” and then we would just talk on and on. Dot loved to talk especially on the phone, she could talk on the phone all day. She could also cook a meal all day long. She loved to listen to the radio and dance around the house to country music. Dot enjoyed teaching her kids, especially Shelley how to dance. Dot’s children and grandchildren will miss her and all the good times they had.
