Dorothy and Alvin have two daughters, Pat and son-in-law, Victor Arnold, and Sandy West and partner, Frank Sharpe; two beloved grandsons, Timothy Carpenter and wife Brandy, and Stephen West and partner, Rebekah Evans; a great granddaughter, Madison Carpenter; and many nieces and nephews, who were very special to her. Dorothy has a close friend and care giver, Doreen Moat. They spent many fun days playing their card game, SkipBo. She would also like to acknowledge her case worker, Christina Deakon from the TreHab Agency of Susquehanna County, who made everything easier for her. Dorothy was mostly a stay at home mom. She did work briefly at Fair Play Caramel Factory and James and Nick Sandwich Shop, both formerly in Binghamton. Later in life she worked at McIntosh Labs with her daughter Sandy. In her younger years, Dorothy was a Girl Scout leader, Sunday School Teacher, a member of the Local Civic Club. She was a member of the former Hallstead United Methodist Church and was active in UMW. Dorothy became a member of the United Methodist Community Church upon the merge of the two churches. Dorothy created a women’s bible study that met once a week in her home almost a decade ago. These women became like a second family. You will remember her best if you received a carefully wrapped package of her cinnamon buns for either being sick, or had a death in your family, or because she was thinking of you. She also was prompt on sending cards for various occasions. Alvin and Dorothy enjoyed their last few years together in the comfort of their home with family and friends. A funeral service will be held at 11:00 a.m., Tuesday, June 7, 2016 at the United Methodist Community Church, Great Bend, PA. Interment will be made in Rose Hill Cemetery.
