Dorthy was born on November 10, 1958, in Casper, Wyoming, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas and Patsy (Kelly) Wood. She was a graduate of Natrona County High School in Casper, Wyoming. She later graduated from the University of Wyoming in Laramie. Her professional career was varied; from accounting, to small business financial manager, to computer software consultant, to an assistant to the Emmet County, Michigan treasurer. When she “mastered” a position/job she most likely would begin to search for another.
