Her patriotism, loyalty to tradition and values, as well as her deep commitment to and love for 4 generations of existing family members has made her a proud member of “the greatest generation.”
Born in Boston in 1921, she was the only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Brattle Gannett.
She was predeceased by her daughter, Charlotte Macy Savory, and by her brothers, Thomas B. Gannett, John D. Gannett and Robert T. Gannett.
She leaves behind her loving husband, Thomas H. West; her daughters, Dorothy Damon and Louise Sylvester; her sons, Thomas Macy and Christopher West; step-sons, Thomas H. West, Jr. and Richmond West; also her younger brother, William B. Gannett. She loved her 14 grandchildren and felt blessed to have met 15 great grandchildren ages 3 months to 12 years old.
A private family celebration of Dorothy’s life will be held in the spring.
In lieu of flowers you may kindly contribute to a charity of choice.
