Dora Bee (Johnson) Hathaway

Dora Bee (Johnson) Hathaway, 59, of Princeton, passed away Friday, October 15, 2021 at Linda E. White Hospice House in Evansville. She was born February 1, 1962 in Sedalia, Missouri to the late Elmer Woodrow Johnson and Doris Lou (White) Johnson. She graduated Princeton Community High School then went on to earn an Associates Degree from University of Southern Indiana.
