Obituary: A most remarkable ninety-two year-old woman passed from our midst the morning of 9, 2011. The life of Dorothy Long Griffin had a breadth and depth experienced by very few of us: Mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, businesswoman, and special friend to whom many turned for her warmth and wisdom. Each person who knew her felt uniquely known and cared about.

Born in McKinney, Texas on 27th, 1918, Dorothy married Joe Griffin, Sr. and became a partner with her husband both in raising a family and growing a successful Oldsmobile dealership in Plano. Her two sons watched their parents love and enjoy one another in unmatchable ways. the death of her dear husband her light dimmed a bit, but she never lost her interest in business and her determination to love her family and friends and to involve herself in causes that mattered to her, such as the First United Methodist Church of Plano, the Library of Plano, and the University of Texas at Dallas where she served on the advisory board. Dorothy had a rare intelligence and a capacity to get things done when she turned her attention to anything or anyone important to her.

You will be sorely missed, our dear one. But you will certainly live on in the hearts and minds of people whom have been touched by you.
Forever.

She could communicate with all types, as shrewd a negotiator on the car lot as at the boardroom table. She was friends with a Congressman and even spoke with a US President. When she turned 92 she opened a Facebook account to keep up with her grandkids, always up with the times. On the phone, she always ended with Love ya instead of goodbye, because she knew she would always be with us.

She is preceded in death by her husband Joe B. Griffin, Sr. and her son Joe B. Griffin, Jr.

Survivors include: her son Dr. Fred Griffin, his wife Carol, and grandchildren Matthew Griffin and Meridith Griffin Catterick; grandson Greg Griffin, wife Pam, and great grandchildren Regan, Erin, and Justin; grandson Jeff Griffin and great-granddaughter Katie Griffin; and her daughter-in-law Sandra Griffin Thetford.

a private family burial at Restland , a public memorial service and reception will be held at 1:00pm on , 11th in the First United Methodist Church in Plano, Texas. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions in her name can be made to the First United Methodist Church.



Eulogy:



Memories of my mother have been returned to me in waves over the past week while she was in the hospital and as it was sinking into my mind that-despite her strength, intelligent intensity, determination, and love of life-her almost 93 year-old body was likely too tired to go on.


At the center of the memories that have been pushing their way into my mind, I see her smile-a smile when she was happy, in a particular way-and her voice that came with this certain kind of smile. And though this smile that Im speaking of came up in different kinds of circumstances in the memories returning to me, it is consistently there.
Heres one memory. 1959: Mother, Dad, and I were at Hickory Creek, a part of Garza Little Elm Lake where Dad had his boat in a stall in a boathouse. We had gone for the weekend in our little 13-foot long house trailer that was parked on a hill just above the boat. Dad was cooking his special steaks, and the three of us were sitting there in folding aluminum chairs.

As I focus on the smile in this memory, I can clearly see that it was a smile of contentment. For that particular moment, all was right with the world. Although I think that Mother was glad to have me there, I think that she was mostly contented because she was there with my father, my father who was also completely happy with the moment. This was one of these times with the family in which Dad would say-probably borrowing from a Humphrey Bogart movie-If this was any better, I would swear that it was a frame-up. His comment had to do with being happy with his family-and, I think, mostly with his beautiful and loving wife. So in this memory, my mother and father were in perfect sync: were together and happy and things were just the way that they should be.



Memories of someone we love do not arrange themselves in our minds in chronological order; nor do they return to us in the form of objective facts about that person-or facts about ourselves with them. Rather, it is those essential qualities that we perceive in our loved one that provide the shape of what we recall. Maybe ultimately, memories come mostly in the form of how we feel when we are with that person.

The element that shapes these memories that are filling my mind is this smile.


Another smile returning in a memory comes from 1960: On the wedding day of my brother, Joe, and Sandra Bozeman. You can see a photograph of this smile at the reception today. Mothers first-born son had found the woman he loved, and the two of them were going in settle down in Plano. Everything was again right with the world-but this time the source of contentment centered on her son, Joe. My brother was happily creating the life that he wanted. And she was happy that he was happy. A complete circuit.

Another time, another smile-this one in 1952: With just a trace of embarrassment, I must say that this is one of my favorite smiles. This is the scene: I am a three- or four-year-old boy was sitting on the kitchen counter watching her cook. Now with this smile came a song, you continued...
