Roy turns 90

Dorothy Pearl Roy just celebrated her 90th birthday December 31, 2023, and was surprised and touched to receive a beautiful blanket from the tribe as a gift.

She says “thank you” for the thoughtful gift and the honor of being designated a tribal elder now.

Her son, David Roy, shares the same birthday and they got to celebrate together.

Dorothy is pictured standing next to her Christmas tree decorated with her Choctaw ornament collection at her home in Pryor, Oklahoma. She is also pictured celebrating her shared birthday with her son.
