BABBITT, Dorothy Dowell Holm 1913-2007 

Dorothy Dowell Holm Babbitt, 93, passed away on March
10. She's now in Heaven, drinking extra-strong coffee
with the friends who have gone before and reminding
God to watch over her loved ones, as she asked him
daily to do.

sisters and married Hjalmer Holm, who preceded her in

Known for her warmth, compassion, sense of humor and
faith in the Lord, Dorothy worked for many years at
Holladay Park Hospital. She also devoted untold hours
to her church, teaching Sunday School and helping Mien
people learn English and acclimate to America.
Everyone who knew her found a friend and champion in
"Grandma Dorothy". 
She is survived by her daughter, Doris; son-in-law Ed

loved, forever leaving her gentle imprint on our
