South Amboy on May 13, 1926. As a recipient of a full scholarship, she received a B.A. in Library Science from Douglass College in 1947. Eleven days after graduation, she married Glynn Ward. After working for 2 years as a public librarian in New Brunswick, Dottie left the profession to raise a family.

One of her many volunteer activities included helping to create the Immaculate Conception School Library. In the late 60's, she returned to work as a part-time librarian in the Spotswood Public Library. In the midst of raising her six children, Dottie enrolled in Trenton State College where she received her Associate Educational Media Certificate. As Spotswood Public Schools first certified librarian, from 1970-1988 she was instrumental in the establishment of libraries in Memorial Middle School, Schoenly School and Spotswood High School. By the time she retired, Dottie had worked in all but one of Spotswood's libraries. She spent several years after retirement by volunteering again at Immaculate Conception School Library.
