The entire Finley Distributing Family is deeply saddened by the passing of our founder Dorothy Hunt Finley. Dorothy will always be a big part of Finley as we continue her legacy. She meant so much to each and every employee. We were all in awe of her generosity to our community and proud of the work Dorothy did to make Tucson a better place to live. Her legacy will continue, and I know that I can speak on behalf of our employees when I say it was an honor to work for such an amazing woman.
