I worked with Dorothy for many years at St. Elizabeth....such a kind hearted person! She always loved talking about her family. I am so sorry for your loss

Sincere condolences to you. I worked with your Mother in different aspects from 1981 - 2002. She oriented me to Postpartum and we worked together on the 3 - 11 shift.  In different roles that I had, she was one who provided great input from her clinical background to make changes in the Mother/Baby unit. Her calm demeanor, experience, and insight was always a great contribution as a clinician and patient care advocate.  

She served so many in so many ways. AND I am sure you are so proud of her and all the support she gave you throughout your childhood and adult life.  The memories of great times together will always be with you. 

Dorothy was a pillar of 4th floor at St Elizabeth.  I cannot begin to imagine how many families lives she touched over the years nor can I imagine how many miles she logged in those hallways over her 45 years of nursing. Dorothy was always smiling & always willing to have a good laugh.  I am lucky to have worked with her over the years.  Rest In Peace my friend❤️

What a huge loss, playing music with her sons for many years. She supported High Caliber and everything we did. Great family friends to mine and so close with so many. She was so great to us! I first met Dorothy at a local opry playing piano with Jack playing guitar and the sons, John and Jason playing fiddle. She supported her sons music as a part of life. Later she was a huge support to us young gun musicians, using her home to let us make many ideas and thoughts for our success. Rest In Peace Dorothy Shaw, you mean so much to so many. 

Dorothy was a fun nurse to be around. She had a bit of an ornery streak which endeared her to  younger and older staff alike. She had a bounce in her step that showed the delighted she had in her job and in people in general. We all grew to love her family though the wonderful stories she shared of them. I was amazed to hear of all the musical talent they had in that family!! Dorothy loved and was so proud of all of them. 
When we think of Dorothy we recall wonderful memories of a fun filled lady with a wide smile, who loved her life, her job and and above all things, her family.  She did an amazing job with the life she was given! I'm proud I was one of her co-workers, but mostly I'm glad I was her friend.  

I worked with Dorothy for many many years at St. Elizabeth's and though I remember lots of things about Dorothy the few that stick with me over and over is her beautiful smile that she had for everyone.  You couldn't help smile when Dorothy was smiling at you.  She loved her job and all her coworkers.  She was amazing the way she took care of every one.  Her love of her family.  Just talking about her husband and her kids made her smile even  bigger and wider.  Rest in piece Dorothy.  God is lucky to have you and we are all very sad and will miss you

Dorothy worked postpartum at St E and I worked in Labor and Delivery.  I started in 1985 and she was one of the first to welcome me.   She loved taking care of new mothers and did it with such skill and kindness.  She mothered each one of them.  She talked often of working at the old St E and of her family.   She was so proud of her children.   Sending all of you my sympathy. 



I remember Dorothy so well from St E on the postpartum unit. She was a wonderful nurse. Thoughts and prayers for your family.🙏🙏🙏
