Dorothy Evelyn MacAdam

Dorothy Evelyn MacAdam was born on October 21, 1930 in Spring Valley, New York to William and Evelyn Gallagher. On October 21, 2022, she was called home.

Dorothy was a longtime resident of Hillburn, NY where she raised her seven children: Steven MacAdam (Maureen), Penny Duffy (James), Thomas MacAdam, Eric MacAdam (predeceased), and Robin Miele (Gregg) with James I. MacAdam (predeceased); and Patricia Coatti (Steven) and Nancy VanDunk (Craig) with John T. Garulli (predeceased). She is survived by 16 grandchildren and 21 great grandchildren.

Dorothy, known as “Dot” to her friends and family, was a member of the Hillburn Ladies Auxiliary, loved animals, and was an avid birdwatcher. She was very creative and always took pleasure in decorating. She had a great sense of humor, was always a good sport when her children made her the brunt of many jokes and relentless teasing, and could also give as good as she got. She was genuine, unpretentious and lived her life on her own terms, never passing judgement on others.
