Creating this infographic for my Mama, Dotty, felt like gathering pieces of her life and placing them gently together. From her Hotchkiss roots and wide-open ranch country to her years by the San Francisco Bay, each place helped shape the woman she became. Her story is filled with family, hard work, love, and the beautiful places that held her memories. Most of all, this keepsake honors the legacy she left behind; one carried forward through her children, her family, and the stories still being told.
I love how you do these. Very cool! I see similarities between her life, mine, and my mother-in-laws. I lived on a ranch in California, between Santa Rosa, and Healdsburg as a child. Also in Idaho and Montana. I also worked in Seattle for about a year as an LPN at the Swedish Hospital. My mother-in-law, Susan also worked as a telephone operator in Seattle before she was married. Maybe they knew each other. small world.
Wouldn’t that be something if they knew one another? I was born in Seattle.
