Dorothy Andrews Elston Kabis

Dorothy Andrews Elston Kabis (March 22, 1917 – July 3, 1971) was a Republican Party activist and former Treasurer of the United States from Delaware, having served from May 8, 1969, until her death.

[1][2] Elston Kabis died of a heart attack in Sheffield, Massachusetts, at 54 while visiting her father's grave.

[3] In her honor, the NFRW established an internship program for young women.

[4] Following her appointment as treasurer by U.S. President Richard M. Nixon as Dorothy Andrews Elston, she married Walter L. Kabis (1914–2009), a World War II Pacific Navy veteran on the USS England (DE-635) and a school principal from Wilmington, Delaware, in 1970 and changed her name to Dorothy Andrews Elston Kabis.

The resulting change in Kabis' signature appeared first on the Series 1969A note, so designated to show a different name as treasurer, even though it was the same person.
