Dorothy Lucille Gross Board, age 96 of Irvington, KY passed away January 2, 2025 at Baptist Health Hardin. She was born in Louisville, KY on December 26, 1928, daughter of the late Oma Lorene Johnson and Jesse Harvey Gross, Sr. Dorothy graduated from Irvington High School and was a homemaker. She was a lifelong member of Custer Methodist Church and Custer Order of Eastern Star. She was a former realtor with Coldwell Banker and Monarch Realty.
