They were married for 58 years, and together they raised four children, Donald Lee Rock, Michelle Renae Dement, Cheryl Ann Basta, and Theresa Anne Morsette. Their commitment to each other and their enduring marriage in the face of life’s trials is an example to us all. They resided in several states, although always returned to the state they loved the most - Montana. Dollie developed several pursuits. She owned and operated a childcare which allowed her to give to and educate the "next generation." She was a great seamstress and enjoyed creating things with her hands (cooking, art, etc.).
