She is survived by children Jeff, of Nova Scotia, Canada, Christopher (and wife, Ann) of New Cumberland, Hugh (and wife, Marcia) of Olalla, WA, Lisa (and husband, Dan) of Lexington, KY, and Kirk of Carlisle; five grandchildren, Lucas of Nova Scotia, Amelia of British Columbia, Katie-Rose of Lexington, and Ryland and Noah of Olalla; and one brother, Walter Lynch (and wife, Nancy) of Raymond, NH.

Dorothy's professional achievements include being the president of the Big Flats Women's Club in Big Flats, NY, where she was instrumental in the creation of that town's first public library. After moving to Carlisle in 1973, she worked at the former Lamberton Junior High School and Mt. Holly Springs Elementary School. She was the executive secretary at the former Thornwald for Living Skills and the Stevens Mental Health Center, a position she held until her retirement in 1984. Dorothy and Leonard were members of the First United Church of Christ and were the dedicated sponsors of a newly immigrated family from Bosnia.

Dorothy will be remembered for her kindness, positive outlook, and sense of humor. She was an accomplished knitter and avid reader who loved the outdoors. Her extensive travels with Leonard throughout England, Canada, and the United States included their discovery on horseback of her father's 1916 Montana homestead cabin. Above all, Dorothy's love for her husband and family brought her great happiness and fulfillment.

The family wishes to extend their heartfelt appreciation to the entire staff of Thornwald Home for the loving care and genuine affection they provided for Dorothy over the last six years. The family suggests that memorial contributions be made to the Alzheimer's Association, P.O. Box 96011, Washington, D.C. 20090. A private memorial service will be held at a later date. Ewing Brothers Funeral Home, Carlisle, assisted the family with the arrangements.
