Covington resident Dorothy Twine passed away December 1, 2015 at Valley Medical Center in Renton, Washington at the age of 65. She was born August 2, 1950 in Shell Knob, Missouri as Dorothy Faye Carpenter, the apple of her daddy's eye. She has four older brothers, two younger and a baby sister who was taken home to the Lord upon being born. Being the only living sister with six brothers, she was certainly tough and considered above reproach. She wasn't the youngest, but she was the family's baby. One would think a woman so beautiful and so protected would be prissy or lazy. No way was that Dorothy! She was driven, hardworking, headstrong and, almost dangerously, adventurous and brave. She was a force not to be reckoned with, especially with her best friend/sister, Margie Renfroe. They met when they were 10 and eight, Dorothy being the oldest. They had many adventures, trials and triumphs throughout their everlasting friendship. As an adult, she continued to maintain all the attributes that were her. Her early adult life was a rough one, contributing to her future ailments. Nothing could stop her dreams though. She had two children whom she loved deeply, a daughter, Julie and a son, Alvin with her first husband. She was a loving and generous mom. After the dissolution of her marriage, she accomplished many things. She went to work for Boeing as a Security Administrator, experiencing things few ever will, pursued and achieved a college degree. Most importantly met the true love of her life, Russell Twine. He gave her a whole world of new dreams and showed her a love she never imagined possible. She has said the happiest she had ever been was with her faithful and loving husband in Rosamond, CA. They shared 27 years of love, devotion and happiness. She liked to brag they never really argued, something very rare in the world today. Their love is always and forever. In addition to be being a proud wife, she felt extremely blessed to have her other family members. Family was irreplaceable to Dorothy. Each and every family member had a special place in her heart, unconditionally. She had a great many friends she treasured as well, one so much so that in her heart, she was her sister. Dorothy had a tremendous heart of gold, always doing her best to serve the Lord and to be a good soul. She succeeded. She was a great comfort to many, someone to look up to, someone you couldn't help but love. She was a treasured and beloved wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, aunt, friend and so much more. She was as beautiful inside as she was on the outside. Still, she was far more than just a beautiful family member with a loving heart. She was intelligent, creative, crafty, terrifically funny and an all-around amazing woman, someone anyone would be blessed to know. An incredibly talented card maker, she enjoyed crafting, jewelry making, candles, collectibles, making others laugh, and was a dedicated Seahawks fan. We lost an angel here on Earth, but the Heavens were blessed with her soul as she was greeted by her Daddy and Mom. Dorothy is survived by her husband Russell Lee Twine; daughter ‘her rose', Julie Peterson (Chad) of Jerome, Idaho; son ‘her baby boy' Alvin Smith (Andrea) of Pahrump, Nevada; brothers Dannie, Johnnie (Carol), J.D., Bobbie (Liz), Jerry and Terry (Sissy); best friend and sister, Margie Renfroe of Santa Maria, California; 11grandchildren and 4 great grandchildren; and many adoring nieces, nephews and cousins. She was preceded by her Daddy Raymond Carpenter; Mom Ruby Carpenter; sister Judy; father-in-law James Twine; mother-in-law, Dorothy Twine; and sister-in-law Carrie. In lieu of flowers memorial donations may be given to the family at the memorial service.
