She grew up on a traditional Catholic farm.<\/h3>\n

She entered the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur in 1948 and took life vows in 1956. From 1951 to 1966, she taught in schools in Illinois and Arizona. In 1966, her convent sent her to Brazil to begin her mission in Coroata, Maranao state.<\/p>\n

Sr. Dorothy fought for the rights of rural workers and peasants and was active in the Commission, a Catholic Church organization that advocated for land reform in Brazil. During her more than 30 years of missionary work, she also gained Brazilian citizenship and lived among the little ones. But on February 12, 2005, she was killed less than a week after meeting with a Brazilian human rights official about threats to local farmers from loggers and landowners.<\/p>\n
