Dorothy was born to Hamid and Nezema (Alley) George on August 18,1948. She attended school in Harlem, MT but spent her senior year in Stanley, ND. She eventually moved to Havre and met and married Dave Rucinsky. Together they would raise three daughters before later divorcing.
On January 30, 1985, she married Bradley Dugdale, Sr. Both were involved with the local Bridge Club where they met. The couple spent years traveling around the state for bridge tournaments making some great friendships but none as great as the friendship and love they had found in each other.
Dorothy was very career minded. She took pride in her strong work ethic and was very devoted and loyal to her employers. Prior to their closing, she worked for Baltrusch Construction for 17 years. In 1993, she took a position at Moodie Implement before retiring in 2014. Even after retirement, you could possibly see her at the Havre or Great Falls implement store helping train new employees.
Dorothy was preceded in death by her parents; brother Hamid; sisters, Rosie and Lillian, and her youngest sister, Irene.
Dorothy is survived by her husband of 31 years, Brad; daughters, Shannon (Jim) Skiff of Wenatchee, WA, Jennifer Rucinsky-Dahlke of Great Falls and Kayce Rucinsky (Bob Evans) of Havre; step-children, Bradley Jr. (Shariae) of Coeur d'Alene, ID, Zachary (Shelli) of Whitefish, Greg of Havre, Jennifer (Ben) Sommer of Teaneck, NJ and Tricia (Geoff) Gilpin of Lake Forest, CA; 21 grandchildren and 6 great grandchildren; brother Omar Hamdan of Stanley, ND; sisters, Marion Fenn of Salt Lake City, Eva Dixon of Perry, GA, Ida Rodriguez of Chandler, AZ and Susie (Alan) Pearson of Havre; as well as numerous nieces and nephews.
