ROCKFORD (WIFR) – A trip to a friend’s house turned deadly after police say the driver of a stolen car crashed into a Rockford couple, killing a woman and leaving her husband fighting for her life.
The Rockford Police Department says 18-year-old Dontrell Littleton was high on drugs, speeding down Spring Creek in a stolen car on Sunday. Littleton lost control of the car near North Second Street, hitting another car and killed 65-year-old Dorothy. So far, Littleton has only be charged with speeding and DUI, but more charges could come later.
Galloway’s death hit the community hard. She spent years in the Stateline, volunteering for dozens of organizations.
“The one thing I think you hear from everybody is as soon as you meet her, you’ll never forget her. That’s just Dorothy. She’s got a very infectious personality, kind of contagious,” said United Way CEO Paul Logli.
Dorothy Galloway’s giving spirit touched thousands of lives. The 65-year-old dedicated her life to serving others in the Rockford Community.
“We are indebted to Dorothy Galloway for the things she has done over the last decades that have improved the plight of thousands of people in our community,” Logli said.
She worked with the Epilepsy Association, Hunger Connection, Mother House, and the AIDS network and the list goes on and on. Her friend of more than 30 years, Kay Larrick says Galloway never gave helping others a second thought.
“It was just a true love life and being able to share that and help in any way she could. You know, she’d say, just give me a call girl, just give me a call, I’ll do that,” said Galloway’s friend Kay Larrick.
