Dorothy, 100, died peacefully at her home surrounded by loved ones.
Born Antonia Carmella (Dorothy) Quattrocchi, in the "Little Italy" section of Fort Edward, she was the daughter of the late Antonio and Francesca Raimondo Quattrocchi.
Dorothy graduated from Fort Edward High School in 1933.
That fall, at the age of 18, she began her studies of Nursing at Saratoga Hospital, graduating in 1936 with an RN degree. Her nursing career, spanning 24 years, encompasses all phases; from student nurse, general duty, obstetrical and private duty to supervisor of the Emergency Department and Assistant Director of Nursing.
She also served as a nurse at Saratoga raceway over a number of racing seasons. She was a member of the Nurses' Guild and attended their luncheons for years.
On July 3, 1957, Dorothy married Dr. Robert S. Hayden, at the Middlebury College Chapel in Middlebury, Vermont, with friends Mr. and Mrs. Leo Callahan serving as witnesses. They were married for 35 years, until his death in 1992.
During their years together they enjoyed many good times with family and friends, in addition to traveling to their home in Florida during the winters and spending summers at their cottage on Sacandaga Reservoir.
Dorothy had many hobbies and was a perfectionist in each. She enjoyed the gardening of both vegetables and flowers, knitting, sewing, needlepoint, refinishing furniture and cooking, especially baking. Her chocolate cake with walnuts and her knotted rolls were just a few of her many requested specialties.
At the age of 80, she decided to take up painting and was quite a talented artist. Watercolor was her favorite medium. She always looked forward to the painting classes she attended at the Saratoga Senior Center.
Through the years, she enjoyed her nightly phone calls from her dear friend, Gianni Izzo. Her chats with friend, Ruth Minor, always put a smile on her face.
In addition to her parents and her husband, Dorothy was predeceased by her sisters, Victoria and Carmella and brothers, Samuel, Anthony, Giuseppe, Frank and John.
Surviving are several nieces and nephews of Albany, of Athens, Georgia, of Saratoga, of Albany and of Queensbury.
Dorothy's family would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to the caring and compassionate caregivers that filled her life with love and laughter right to the end.
Thank you to Community Hospice of Saratoga for their assistance.
