Dorothy Ann Waddell
You guide me with your counsel, and afterward you will take me into glory. Whom have I in heaven but you? And earth has nothing I desire besides you. -Psalm 73:24-25 NIV
Dorothy Ann (Bryson) Waddell, 77 of Billings, passed away on January 14, 2010 at her home. She was born on July 31, 1933 in Ballantine, MT to Robert and Pearl Bryson. She graduated from Huntley Project High School in 1952. Three years later she met a handsome young man whom she would marry, his name was Stanley Waddell and on April 9, 1955 they tied the knot. For over 30 years Dorothy worked for Willis Sales in Billings, but her greatest occupation was being a wife and mother to her three children. In addition to working for Willis Sales, Dorothy also worked for her husband's business as a bookkeeper for nearly 20 years.
She had great determination and strength in everything she did in life. She always saw the good in others, and was kind to all. Dorothy will be remembered for her unconditional love for her husband, three children, four grandchildren, and four great grandchildren.
