She married Carl (Ben) Sarver on July 1, 1949, and celebrated 66 years of marriage with him before he passed away in 2015. She adored and took great pride in being a mother of three, and treasured time with her family, especially her grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

She was choir director at several churches including Firestone Park Church of Christ, Oak Hill Presbyterian Church, Meade Ave. Christian Church, First Christian Church of Stow, and the United Presbyterian Church of Cuyahoga Falls. She was a soloist at First Presbyterian Church of Akron. Dorothy was the founder and director of the Joybells handbell choir in Stow. She also directed bell choirs at North Lakeland Presbyterian Church in Lakeland, FL. Dorothy was active as a soloist for many years with Akron and Cleveland Symphony Orchestras, Goodyear Musical Theatre, and Lakeside Theatre.
Preceding her in death is her husband, Ben; brothers, Jake, Leonard, Bert, Bill and sister, Lillian.
Left to cherish her memory are her children; Lynda (Paul) Gaug, Tom (Phyllis) Sarver, and John (Janis) Sarver; grandchildren, Jonathan, Melissa (Taylor), Rachel, Andrew, Julianne (Mark), Mark (Erin), Kristin (Brian); and ten great-grandchildren.
