Dorothy Winder DeVore became involved with the American Mothers organization after being named 2007 California Mother of the Year. This led to serving as President of the California Association for five years and since then on the National Board as Area 1 Coordinator and currently as Secretary. She is in awe of the exceptional moms with whom she has become acquainted. She grew up on a dairy farm in Vernal, Utah and now lives in La Canada, California with her husband Greg of 51 years. Her favorite pastime is being with their seven children and their families, which include 24 delightful grandchildren, who are scattered across the country. After a 2-year church mission in France and Switzerland, she graduated from Brigham Young University, enjoyed teaching music and French to elementary students (and currently two daring granddaughters), community choirs, volunteering in church programs for girls, women, and children, serving on a church Public Affairs Council, teaching Sunday School, directing a choir and participating in many service projects. Dorothy manages her husband’s Maternal/Fetal Medicine practice which included opening seven different offices over the years. She also enjoys accompanying him as he lectures around the world.
