Dorothy’s granddaughter Zulema told reporters Christianity and McDonald's had long been the mainstays of Dorothy’s life.

She told : "Grandma always used to take me to church.

"And then after church, we would sometimes go to McDonald's and my grandma got a Big Mac. 

“She was getting Big Macs for a long time."

Dorothy always loved having family around her, with nine great-grandchildren and one great-great-grandchild.

But sadly she has not been able to see them in the past couple of years.

Zulema said: "Our family would come over every Friday until the pandemic happened.

 “We’re no longer doing that, so it’s just FaceTime, and they miss her, but nobody wants to jeopardise her”.
