Dorothy Mason passed away on Friday, October 23rd, 2015 after a short illness. Born Dorothy Lucille Hubley on February 8th, 1928, to Joseph and Ann Hubley in Hastings, MN, Dorothy was the second of four children in the family. Dorothy attended school in Hastings, and graduated in 1946. During that same year, Dorothy met the love of her life William "Keith" Mason of Brownfield, TX. Keith had served in the US Army Air Corps in the Pacific theater from 1942-1946, and was later employed on a pipeline project in southern Minnesota. After Keiths return to Texas and his employment with Mason Oil Company, Dorothy and he continued corresponding with one another by mail and phone, and after accepting his marriage proposal in early 1947, Dorothy journeyed to Texas. She began her new life in Lubbock, TX on July 1st, 1947. In the next six years while residing in Brownfield, Dorothy and Keith had two sons, Michael Wayne in 1948 and James Stephen in 1950 and one daughter, Diane Marie in 1952. In 1953 Keith joined Magnolia Petroleum Corporation (subsequently Mobil Oil) in a career that took them to twenty-four locations throughout Texas, New Mexico, Arkansas, where their fourth child, daughter Suzanne Marie was born in 1961, Mississippi, California, Oklahoma and Michigan until his retirement in 1985. It was during these years that Dorothy met many of the other Mobil families that became her lifelong friends. Dorothy and Keith settled in Irving in 1972, where they resided until her death. After Keiths retirement, Dorothy and he enjoyed traveling throughout the United States in RVs, and spent many summers in South Fork, CO, and their winters in south Texas. Dorothy was passionate about fishing from early childhood until late in life, and had great interests in cooking and baking, reading, knitting, ceramics, and canning/preserving.
