She was born August 27, 1934 in Long Branch (Dotson Community), TX to Jesse Sr. and Mae Kelly Fite McGensy. At nine years old, Dorothy accepted Jesus Christ as her Lord and Savior and became a member of New Zion Baptist Church. In August 1951, she moved to Indio and then to Banning in 1954. In 1965, Dorothy met Earnest Hash who later became her husband and they moved to Santa Ana. She was a faithful member of First Mission Baptist Church where she served in the Choir and the Pastor's Aide for many years. A few years later God called her to serve at First Baptist of Glen Valley Church in Riverside, CA for a few years before she and Earnest united with Fountain of Life Temple C.O.G.I.C. where they were both active members and Dorothy was a faithful member of Pastor's Aid. In August 2005, Dorothy moved to Bakersfield, CA and joined New Rising Star Church.
