Dorothy is survived by her dear son Jonathan and his wife Megan Hukill. She will be dearly missed by all those who knew and loved her.
Dorothy was many things. Before everything else, she put her family first. She was a faithful daughter, a loving wife, and a caring mother. She also took great pride in her work, the work of improving the lives of people she cared about. Whether as a schoolteacher helping young children, a legal advocate for those who needed help, or a public servant fighting on behalf of her constituents' causes, she threw herself completely into serving others.
But beyond the work itself, she treasured the personal relationships and friendships made along the way. She loved staying in touch with people in her community, hearing about their lives, sharing their joys and sorrows. Every trip to the grocery store or the post office was a new opportunity to connect with her neighbors and friends.
We are terribly sad that she's no longer with us, and we know that everyone who was fortunate enough to know her will feel pain when reading these words. But we also remember one of Dorothy's great gifts, the ability to comfort others in times of need. One of her favorite sayings was "this too shall pass." She would want us to remember her for the life she lived rather than the pain that her passing has caused.
The family has invited the community to a visitation and celebration of life for Dorothy be held Sunday, October 7, 2018, from 12:00 PM to 2:00 PM at Volusia Memorial Funeral Home, 4815 S Clyde Morris Blvd, Port Orange, Florida 32129.
