Dorothy Dale, devoted mother, loving mother-in-law, aunt, great aunt and great great aunt passed away on July 29th 2022 after a brief illness. Born and raised in New Britain, Dorothy was a graduate of New Britain High School. She went on to become a Registered Nurse and worked for several years as an OR nurse in both the Hartford and New Haven areas. She continued her career as a nurse in the Air Force and, eventually, returned to New Britain where she concluded her career again as an OR nurse and, finally, as a nurse at a long term care facility.
Throughout her life Dorothy possessed an adventurous spirit and among her favorite pursuits was travel. In her younger days her travel destinations included South America, Germany, Ireland, and British Columbia. Later in life, her travel destinations, while closer to home, continued to bring her happiness. She enjoyed frequent trips to Boston, Cape Cod, NYC, Long Island, Cape May and many picturesque New England towns and villages.
Simply put, Dorothy cherished her family. As a mother she exemplified being a caring and selfless provider. However, every member of the family invariably experienced her warmth, thoughtfulness, kindness and generosity. She would especially lavish extra attention upon the young children in the family who could always count on a little gift, a treat or just lots of smiles and hugs.
While we now mourn Dorothy's passing, we know that we will always treasure the many, many happy times that we shared with her while she was with us. Recollections of her smile, sweetness, thoughtfulness, strength and enthusiasm ensure that she will be an inextricable part of our family's collective memory. We pray that she will enjoy the Beatific Vision and we trust that, with her prayers, we will, one day, be reunited with her in eternity.
