Dotty Rector - Communications
Dotty Rector, a “Cradle Presbyterian,” grew up in Wisconsin. She graduated from Carroll University, a Presbyterian school, and received her master’s degree at the University of Wisconsin. She worked as a social worker, then a psychotherapist in private practice before moving to Hot Springs Village in 1994 with her husband Gary. The Rectors joined the Kirk days after their arrival.

Dotty was ordained an elder at Heritage Presbyterian Church and served as elder at Southminster Presbyterian, both in Wisconsin. She has served on the Kirk session as moderator of Congregational Care. She became a member of Communication Committee in 2007 and wrote a column entitled “New Territory.” Most recently she retired as moderator of the Kirk’s Presbyterian Women.

The Rectors were avid sailors in Wisconsin, and now live on the shore of Lake Coronado, where a pontoon boat has replaced the sailboat. Dotty volunteers at Potter’s Clay and at Charitable Christian Medical Clinic. She loves camping, reading, visiting her children, traveling, and being outdoors.
