Dorothy Marie (Feipel) Bahor, 92, of St. Albans left this life on May 24, 2012, to enter into her new life with Christ. Dorothy, Dottie, Grandma Dot and Dot were her most common names, but she will be missed the most as Mom.
Dorothy was preceded in death by her husband, Ernest M. Bahor, in 1978. Dot was born in Detroit, Mich., where she eventually met and married Ernie. They moved to the Charleston area in the 1940s for Ernie's work at Union Carbide. As many in this area from that era did, they settled in St. Albans to raise their family.
Dorothy and Ernie had seven children, all of whom remain. She is survived by Jean Young and husband, Skip, of Atlanta, Ga., Edward Bahor and wife, Corinne, of St. Albans, Carolyn Sutton and husband, John Y. Sutton, of Bridgeport, Jacqueline Brown of Townville, S.C., Loretta McGinnis and husband, John, of Dayton, Ohio, Debbie Tettenburn and husband, Frank, of St. Albans and Mary Busch of Richmond, Va. Dorothy is also survived by, and lives on through, 17 grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren. She was a great mother, grandmother and loyal wife and homemaker. We still miss her homemade cookies (and she didn't use a recipe). She was raised during the Great Depression era where you had to work for all you gained. Her hard work ethic was a trademark of her personality, and that "gene" was passed on to all the kids. And, to her and Ernie's credit, all the children graduated with a college degree. Dorothy gave back to her community in later years, volunteering at Thomas Memorial Hospital for 17 years.
Dorothy lived the last eight years at Broadmore Assisted Living in Teays Valley. She enjoyed bird-watching, watching Lawrence Welk and The Gaithers. Thank you, Broadmore, for all you have done for Dot.
The family would like to express its heartfelt thanks to the staff at Dunbar Care and Rehabilitation Center. In this day of unpleasant hospital experiences, Dunbar Rehab was a pleasant surprise and an answer to prayer as the staff, from maintenance to the administrator, worked together to care for Dot in her last days, and genuinely cared for her and the family. We thank you, and God bless you.
Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at 10 a.m. Saturday, May 26, at St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church, St. Albans with Father Patrick M. McDonough as celebrant. Burial will follow in Cunningham Memorial Park, St. Albans.
Visitation will be held from 6 to 8 p.m. Friday at Bartlett-Chapman Funeral Home, 409 Sixth Ave., St. Albans.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to St. Francis of Asissi Catholic Church, 1023 Sixth Ave., St. Albans, WV 25177.
