1913 in Van Horn, TX to Myrtle E. (Jones) and Jim J. Chambers. Jo
was a very active, energetic, and ambitious individual all of her
life. She was born in Texas, but the family moved to New Mexico
early in her life and she was reared and educated in New Mexico. Jo
attended high school and college (New Mexico State Teacher’s College
– which later became New Mexico Western College) in Silver City, New
Mexico. She met her husband, W.L. “Bill” Dorsey in New Mexico and
they were married at the Community Church of Kermit in May of 1934.
Mr. Dorsey was employed in the oilfield and they moved quite often.
After many moves, they settled in Kermit, TX and that was “Home
Sweet Home” ever since. Jo went to work in the post office. Her
husband was transferred to Lovington, and they moved to Lovington,
NM. After two years, they returned to Kermit and Jo went to work
for the city as a bookkeeper. After 20 years of service, she

They were enthusiastic fishermen, and spent much time on Lake LBJ in Kingsland. They traveled far and wide for art shows. Jo did not call herself an artist, but she took a number of awards. While working for the City of Kermit, she was invited by the City Council to update the City Seal. This is the piece of work she was most proud of and it is displayed in the City Manager’s office and the Council Chamber at this time. She also played in major role in starting the Kermit October Affair. She belonged to the AARP. She served as treasurer for this organization for six years.
