Dorothy was born on September 16, 1933 to Daniel and Maclovia Vigil in Rawlins, WY. Maclovia passed away when Dorothy was eleven months old and she was adopted and raised by Moises and Eufemia Vigil. She married her eternal spouse, Benito Garcia and together they had seven children, which gave us a beautiful family of nine. Dorothy said she always knew she wanted to have seven children. She dedicated her life to raising her family and only after all were older, did she join Dad working for First Interstate Bank.
