A long-time resident of Bellmead (Matriarch of the Neighborhood), she was born in Tours, Texas on August 10, 1925 to Frank and Bessie Seith.
Dorothy married Dean Scott of West in 1942 and together they had a son Dean Daniel (Danny) and a daughter Darlene. The family moved from Waco to Fairbanks, Alaska in the 1950s and returned to Waco in 1960.
After returning to Waco, Dorothy met and married Jess Radle in 1963 and they enjoyed many memorable years operating The Lake Brazos Steakhouse and traveling. Dorothy and Jess remained loving companions until his death in 1992.
Dorothy will best be remembered for her strong, independent, feisty personality, her razor sharp mind and memory, her sense of style, and her spirited, expressive conversation. She loved the company of her friends, home, flowers, dancing, playing bingo and dominoes, and winning on “scratch tickets”.
Dorothy was preceded in death by her loving son, Danny Scott; grandson, S.J. (Joey) Moses; brother, Roy Seith; and sister, Estelle Blackburn.
Dorothy is survived by her daughter, Darlene Scott of Bellevue, WA; daughter-in-law, Shirley Scott of Redmond, WA; nieces, Debbie Webb of Taylor, TX, Linda Russell of Waco, Rose Ann Kline, Debbie Marek, and Linda Gerik all of West, and Sarah Mundy of Oklahoma; nephew, Dewayne Blackburn of Waco; and several precious great-nieces and nephews.
Sincere thanks and eternal gratitude to the large circle of devoted friends especially, Debbie Flores and family, Sue Stokes, and Penny Gifford for all the loving kindness and special care during the last years, months, days and moments of her life. You were her Angels.
Place of Service: Waco Memorial Park , 6623 S. IH-35; Robinson, TX 76706

I got to know Dorothy in the later years of her life. We shared many meals and Sunday drives. I loved the rides in the country then she would share her life stories. We laughed a lot. She loved to do the rides to see the Christmas lights. Not very often in life do you come across people that feel like family. I was the lucky one and I’ll miss her so much. Rest now.

My sister, Ann, and I enjoyed visiting with our cousin Dorothy at her most recent birthday and spoke with her several times by phone as well. She had so many memories of her life in Waco to share. She will be missed. – Cousins Margaret and Ann Vyers of Denton
