Dorothy Aurora Mejia, age 90, passed away peacefully on Friday, December 4, 2020 at her residence with her family at her side. She was born on August 16, 1930 in Galveston, Texas. She graduated from Ball High School. She was the owner of Mike’s Place, which she operated for 48 years, until she became too ill to continue and had to close it down. She loved to go on trips to the casinos to gamble. She also loved to throw parties and dance. She was raised Catholic and loved to go to church to light candles. She loved visiting the Catholic Church in San Juan, Texas. She overcame cancer, never complaining of any pain during her treatments. Her greatest passion and love was her family. She was very close to her brothers and sisters and was always there for them. She will be sadly missed by all of those who knew and loved her.
