Dorothy Wallis Kessinger
Fountain Memorial Funeral Home: Obituary
"A native of Lafayette, Dorothy was born June 24, 1923 to Hugh Creighton Wallis and the former Virginia “Virgie” Ewell Heard. Dorothy, affectionately known as “Dot” or “Dotsy”, graduated from Lafayette High School in 1939 and Southwestern Louisiana Institute, now UL-Lafayette, in 1943. Dot worked some years as a secretary in the oil industry and on September 1, 1962 married her husband Walter Paul Kessinger, Jr."
> Born in 1923 at her parents' home in Lafayette, during her 89 years she was by turns a no-nonsense farm girl, an orderly secretarial worker, a dedicated mother, and a supportive grandmother. Throughout her life she was dedicated to numerous community, charity and church organizations and causes, and she was a friend to dozens. She was also always an unwavering tea-totaling Baptist, with a world-view that was equal parts conservative and Christian.
