Dorotha Eleanor Kinkade (13 Sep 1919 - 26 Dec 1985)

These photographs were submitted by their niece, Lynda Frances (Skinner) Turner. Lynda shared that when her Aunt Dorotha was so sick with kidney failure, that Lynda's mother, Retha Pearl (Kinkade) Skinner, donated a kidney in 1969 that extended Dorotha's life another 14 years. Dorotha was one of the first people to receive a kidney transplant at the University of Washington.
