Sister Dorothy Jean Bloomfield was born on October 28, 1940, in Morgan City, Mississippi, to the late Weldon Martin and Ruby Hopkins. She was educated in the Morgan City School System. After completing her schooling, Dorothy moved to Newark, New Jersey, where she met and married the love of her life, Robert Bloomfield. They shared over 60 wonderful years of marriage.

In her spare time, Dorothy enjoyed reading Harlequin romance novels and trading books with her sisters. She loved working on crossword and jigsaw puzzles while looking out of her window.
