In 2016 the Bluffton Airport Advisory Commission requested the village to name the Bluffton Airport terminal as the Dottie Anderson Terminal. That request was approved and the sign is now on the terminal.
Anderson, a lifelong pilot at Bluffton Flying Services, died Dec. 8, 2012.
She graduated from Bluffton High School and Bowling Green State University. She began her flying career as a pilot of small aircraft while still in her teens and at one time built her own plane, a Pitts Special.

At 2 p.m., Saturday, Wendy Chappell-Dick will present a musical program of favorite hymns, at the Swiss Community Historical Society's Schumacher's homestead, 8350 Bixel Road, Bluffton.
Hymns are from the Radical Reformation through the local Swiss settlers' immigration and assimilation process, tracing musical influences on Mennonite music from various folk traditions.
The hymn arrangements are done for dulcimer, guitar and vocals, and combine secular songs with religious works of similar influence.
