Dorothy was born Sept. 21, 1919 at the family ranch North of Saco, the daughter of Lewis "Rabbit" and Mary Jane (Walker) Wright. Because of her father's nick name, "Rabbit" she was called Bunny when she was younger. She graduated from Saco High School in 1936 and helped on the family ranch. She married Bartlett Chamberlin on Nov. 20, 1941 in Malta. They lived on the home ranch for six years before they moved to their ranch 20 miles East of Harlem on the Milk River. After Bartlett's death in 1994, she married Patrick Orrey, a longtime family friend on Sept. 12, 1995 in Lewistown. They made their home in Lewistown. They enjoyed attending many fiddle jam sessions and she loved to watch Pat playing and loved to dance every chance she got.

Dorothy is survived by her brother, Clinton Martin of Grass Range; two nephews and one niece; numerous cousins and friends. She was preceded in death by her parents; husbands, Bartlett Chamberlin in 1994 and Patrick Orrey in 2004.
