East High Leopards Class of 1965 Deceased Classmate: Dorothy Ann Terry Jennings Date Of Birth:  Date Deceased: 1998 Age at Death:  Cause of Death: Cancer Classmate City: Salt Lake City Classmate State: UT Classmate Country: USA Survived By: her husband and her son, Robert Jennings   The following "In Memory" was written and submitted by our classmate Candy Martin Kammerman, a lifelong friend of Dorothy: Dorothy always enjoyed participating in sports. We became acquainted in Junior High playing together in a summer softball league. It was during the league play that I learned Dorothy's mother was my Art teacher at Roosevelt Jr. High. After sharing a fun year in Leader's Club our senior year, I lost contact with Dorothy as she attended Westminster and I was at the University of Utah. When I returned to Utah in 1974, I would run into Dorothy and her mother at Salt Lake Golden Eagle games. When my son John was playing hockey for Skyline, I ran into Dorothy's mother in the stands at the Cottonwood Recreation Center. She told me she had come to watch her grandson who was also playing for Skyline. She asked if I would like to wait and meet him after the game. Sure, I had to wait for my son to shower and change anyway. I should have guessed from her grin, but who should come out with her grandson, but his mother, Dorothy. She had been keeping score for the team. This led to several years of sharing timekeeper/scorekeeper duties for the Skyline hockey team. Dorothy taught in the hospital/home bound program for Granite School District. A few years later, Dorothy was diagnosed with stomach cancer and passed away in 1998.

On December 1, 1998 this world lost a truly wonderful person, Dorothy Ann Terry (DA) Jennings to a nasty form of cancer. She will be truly missed by all who knew her.

A special thanks to all those at LDS Hospital who gave of their knowledge, skill, care and compassion. We know everything possible was done for her. Dorothy was born November 19, 1946 to John Hugh Terry and Dorthy Stevenson Hunter (Dort) Terry. At the first dance of the 1965-66 school year at Westminster College in Salt Lake City, Utah, she met Stanley C. (Stan) Jennings. They were married in December 1967.

Dorothy graduated from Salt Lake City's East High School in 1965, from Westminster College in Salt Lake City, in 1969 with a B.S. in Secondary Education and received her MED from the University of Utah in Special Education in 1994. She was most recently employed by Woodland Hills School, a superior school for junior high and high school students with learning problems. She was truly loved by her students.

Dorothy is survived by her husband, Stanley C. (Stan) Jennings; her children, Dorthy Louise (Dee) Jennings, and Robert Norris (Rob) Jennings; her mother, Dorthy Stevenson Hunter (Dort) Terry, and her sisters, Robin Lee Terry Baum, and Patricia Jane Terry (Pat) Wronski.

Because of the nature of her illness, she was unable to contribute her physical body to research as she had hoped, but her contribution to our world in spiritual ways was considerable. She touched all who knew her in a positive way.

A memorial service will be held Saturday, Dec. 12, 1998, at 2 p.m. at the First Presbyterian Church on South Temple at C Street (350 East).
