Obituary of Dorthy Merriman

Dorthy Merriman was born in Pawhuska, Oklahoma on Valentine’s Day, February 14, 1938 to parents Clifford and Tressie Horton.  She passed through Heaven’s Gates July 22, 2019 at Clarehouse in Tulsa.  She was 81 years old.

Dorothy worked as a salesclerk for Walmart for many years.  She was also a wonderful cook. No one left her home without eating.  She was a very caring person.  She was a loving mother.  While her children were growing up her home was always open and always the place the neighborhood kids gathered.  She became the “neighborhood momma”. When kids were in her home, she took care of their needs.  If they were hungry, she fed them. If they needed scolding, she scolded them.  If they needed love, she loved them. She loved her family very much and was a wonderful example to them of how to love one another.  She was known as “Dorthy the Great” to her great-grandchildren.  The name caught on and she became “Dorthy the Great” to others as well.  She was unselfish and caring.  She would help anyone who needed it, even if she didn’t like you.

Dorothy was preceded in death by two husbands, Charles Dover and Charles Merriman; two brothers Dale and Earl Horton; two sisters Coletta Dover and Nadene Horton; and daughter Theresa Oliver Dover.  She leaves behind sons Steve Dover, Greg Dover and Jeff Dover and wife Diane; brother Albert Horton; and numerous grandchildren, great-grandchildren, extended family and friends.  She will be deeply missed.
