She was born in Liverpool, Merseyside, England, on 18 October 1916. She spent much of her childhood in the Lake District, where her mother was from, hiking and visiting her grandparents. Her mother reportedly died at the age of 103.

Dorothy was a member of the Girl Guides and, after leaving school, attended clerical college to learn shorthand and typing. This enabled her to fulfil her father’s wish for her to work as a secretary on the railways. She was a member of a walking club for many years and continued walking four miles in her late 90s. It was through the club that she met her husband, Fred Billington, whom she married in 1947. Dorothy cared for Fred for five years before his death in 1996. They had one daughter. At the age of 95, Dorothy moved from Liverpool to St Albans to be closer to her daughter.

Her hobbies included reading, table tennis, for which she won a cup, dressmaking, and knitting.

She is the 13th OLP in the UK.

Happy belated 110th Birthday!
