Born Dorothy Ann Buck in North Wales, PA, Dot relished in being a homemaker and raising her children. She moved to Wilmington, Delaware in the late 1950’s. She had a love for antiques, boating, interior design, and was an active member of St. Mark’s Lutheran Church, working with their altar guild for more than 50 years. After becoming bored as her children grew older, she and her first husband, John, started the Wicker Picker in Newark, DE in the late 1970’s which subsequently expanded to four stores and later started DM Designs.
