Dorothy Deane Sills (‘45), 95, who worked in the UNT libraries for many years, died Feb. 5 in Denton. As a UNT undergraduate, she earned her degree in home economics and taught high school in Hearne before returning to Denton. She also earned a master's degree from Texas Woman's University. She worked as a library assistant at UNT in the 1970s in what was then the Library Science Library. That library was transferred into the main collection at Willis, where Dorothy worked until her retirement in 2003. She's remembered as a quiet person who was known to put her home economics skills to good use for a co-worker — baking birthday cakes.
