MacAdam (predeceased); and Patricia Coatti (Steven) and Nancy VanDunk (Craig) with John T. Garulli (predeceased). She is survived by 16 grandchildren and 21 great grandchildren. Dorothy, known as "Dot" to her friends and family, was a member of the Hillburn Ladies Auxiliary, loved animals, and was an avid birdwatcher.
