Dorothy M. Morgan

Dorothy was born on May 12, 1922. She was the only child of Rufus Tuttle and Sara (Harkins) Tuttle. She was a lifelong resident of Verplanck until 2006 when she relocated to her daughter's home in Massachusetts. She graduated from St. Patrick's School in 1935 and Hendrick Hudson High School in 1939. She attended Syracuse University and graduated from the Drake Business School (secretarial track) in 1942.

Dorothy married Charles D. Morgan on September 11, 1949. Prior to having children, she worked for the New York Central Railroad in New York City. For years she served as a poll worker on Election Day. She was a member of the Ancient Order of Hibernians and a parishioner of St. Patrick’s Parish. She was an avid knitter whose passion was making afghans for her children, grandchildren, nieces and nephews.

She is survived by her children June (Joel) Kasper of Pelham, NH and Robert Morgan of Sheffield Lake, Ohio; five grandchildren - Meghan Kasper, Jonathan (Sheri) Kasper, Jeni Lee Morgan (Joshua Cortes), Kristina Morgan, Robert Morgan; and eight great grandchildren.

The family expresses their appreciation and gratitude to the staff of the Halcyon House for their extraordinary dedication, compassion and care and a special thank you to her friend and caregiver Bette.
