Throughout her lifetime, Dorothy was a dedicated wife and mother who helped her husband and son with the operations of their businesses, having been the previous owners and operators of the former Indian Acres Golf Course in Everett. She touched the lives of many people, both near and far, and was unique in her own way. She loved to travel to both Florida and Texas, and spent much of her time as a volunteer for her community, specifically as a volunteer with the Salvation Army.
A master gardener who was a member of the American Iris Society, Dorothy loved all flowers, though she had some favorites, like roses, irises and daylilies. Her collections of flowers that she kept at her home and also planted at the homes of her children were, and still are, beautiful to this day. Dot also loved her pet dogs that she bred and raised, especially her Pomeranians, Ruby, Candy and the late Peanut, who was her companion for over 23 years,and her Yorkies, Belle, Cassie and Coda.
She was a lifetime member of the Charles Nitterhouse Post 1599 VFW in Chambersburg, a member of the American Legion Post 46 Ladies Auxiliary Chambersburg since 2004, the AmVets Post 224 Auxiliary, the B.P.O. Elks Lodge 600 and a member of the Women of The Moose. To honor Dorothy’s overwhelming love of flowers, please send as many flowers as you would like as an expression of sympathy. Be it bought or cut from you own flower garden, all flowers will be greatly appreciated.
