Dorothy Mae

Brock

Dorothy Mae Wiist Brock, beloved mother, sister, aunt, and grandmother, passed away peacefully on July 23, 2024, in Wichita Falls, Texas, at the age of 90.  Born on June 27, 1934, in Henrietta, Texas,  Dorothy was one of seven children of A. A. Wiist and Ida Moser Wiist.  She lived a life full of love, compassion, and dedication to her family.

Dorothy is survived by her children:  John Brock Jr. and wife Tina, Billy Brock and wife Robin, Peggy Gillen and husband Larry, and Barney Brock and wife Dianne.  She is also survived by her brother Milton Ray Wiist and sister Clara Lou Baning, as well as numerous grandchildren, great-grandchildren, great-great-grandchildren,   cousins, nieces, and nephews.

Known to many as Dot, Dorothy loved to cook, clean, and bake homemade pies.  She worked at Wichita Printing and later at The Shopper until she retired.  She loved fishing and camping with all of her motorcycle friends.  You rarely saw her pass up a good garage sale and let's not forget how much she loved her Dallas Cowboys!  She never met a stranger, always outgoing and full of energy.  She was a very independent woman!

Dorothy's warmth, generosity, and kind spirit touched the lives of all who knew her.  She will be deeply missed by her family, friends, and all who had the privilege of knowing her.

A memorial service to celebrate Dorothy's life will be held at New Harvest Church, 1401 Red Fox Road, Wichita Falls, Texas, on Tuesday, July 30, 2024, at 10:30 a.m.  In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to Hospice of Wichita Falls, 4400 Cypress Avenue, Wichita Falls, TX  76310.
