Dorothy (Schwartz) Moss, 98, peacefully passed away on May 9th at the West View Nursing and Rehabilitation facility in West Warwick. She was the loving wife of Martin Moss, deceased in 1997 and the proud, loving mother of Laurence Moss, Ph.d, deceased in 2009. She is survived by her daughter, Vicki Moss and son-in-law, Bob Raphael of Wakefield, her grandchildren, Joshua Moss and his wife Melissa Moss of Los Angeles, California, Ariana Resende and her husband, Alvaro Resende of West Warwick and Daniel Raphael and his wife Courtney Tobin of Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. Also, her two beautiful great granddaughters, Shira and Leah Moss in L.A.
Dorothy was born in New York City, where she lived and raised her family and then worked as a school secretary for the New York City school system. Once her children were out of the house and successfully launched, she and Marty became snowbirds, living in Margate, Florida for several months of the year. Eventually, they moved to Margate where, surrounded by friends and family, they enjoyed shopping, entertaining and hosting their children and grandchildren. Dotty was an excellent seamstress and often made clothing for her children as they grew, and later for her grandchildren.
Following Marty's death, Dotty remained in Margate, where she utilized her secretarial skills to volunteer at a local hospital. She was well received and proved to be a valuable asset to them.
In 2008, while visiting her children in New England, she broke her hip and was unable to return to her home. She became a resident of Tamarisk in Warwick, where she lived until 2015.
She was loving, feisty, proud and enjoyed talking to everyone. She will be missed by all who knew and loved her.
Due to the current crisis with Covid-19, there are no services planned at this time. In lieu of flowers, please send donations to the Kosher Food Pantry in Providence.
