Dorothy VanHook Browning dropped

out of high school and married at the age

of seventeen. One year later, she became a

mother. She o en felt like "a little nobody,"

but her devotion to church and God led her

on a very special path. At times struggling to

make ends meet as a waitress, she turned to

factory work, where her ability to learn fast

soon led to a supervisory position. In her

spare time, she would earn a realtor license

and attend a two-year Bible school for a

ministerial license. Today, Dorothy enjoys

retirement in her adopted home of Ohio.
