Dorsey proudly served the Chicago Public Schools for 35 years as an extraordinary teacher and library leader for the district. Her dedication and passion for education left an indelible mark on her students and colleagues. She was a tireless advocate for increasing students’ access to books. Dorsey always told her colleagues, “If you always do what’s best for kids, you will always make honorable decisions.”
Dorsey’s family would like to thank all of the doctors, nurses and staff of Palos Hospital for their kind and professional care of Dorsey, and her entire family.
Dorsey will be remembered as a radiant light of pure joy, kindness, charm, genuine positivity, and love. Her adventurous spirit and enthusiasm for life touched the hearts of all who knew her. Her vibrant spirit and welcoming warmth will be greatly missed by many.
