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.
