Dorothy Bush Koch (born August 18, 1959), sometimes called "Doro", is the youngest sister of current President of the United States George W. Bush. Her four siblings are George W. Bush, Jeb Bush, Marvin Bush, and Neil Bush.
In 1975, during a visit to Beijing, (it is said) she became the first person publicly baptized in China since its communist government began discouraging foreign religious practices in 1949. Chinese fear of Christianity dates from the Taiping Rebellion, the bloodiest civil war in human history. The Taiping drew their inspiration from tracts distributed by a Baptist missionary from Tennessee.
She has two children by her first husband, William LeBlonde, and two children by her second husband, Robert Koch of Koch Industries.
