Dorothy Weiss

Dorothy was born on Dec. 24, 1924, to George and Sadie (Hall) Smith in Lamar, Nebraska. She joined older sisters, Lillian and Virginia. The three girls formed a loving sisterhood which flourished throughout their lives.
The Smith family lived on a farm and Dorothy joined her sisters in walking to elementary school near their home. During her high school years, Dorothy attended school in Curtis. She graduated from the Curtis School of Technical Agriculture.
Following her graduation, Dorothy taught school for several years in the Lamar and Imperial area rural schools. During the WWII years, Dorothy lived in California. Shortly after returning to the Imperial area, Dorothy began working at the Farmer’s and Merchant’s Bank in Imperial and served on the Board of Directors. She enjoyed her years at the bank very much, caring about her customer’s needs, their families and building friendships which lasted her lifetime.
