Dorothy Spencer served the Medina County Clerk of Courts in the auto title office in the 1960s, '70s and '80s.

Co-workers say she was dedicated to her job and to her family. When she left work each day, she went to check on her mother before going home to take care of her own household.

Toward the end of her 86 years, her passion was going out to eat and playing bingo, her family said.
