Born November 19, 1916, Dorothy grew up in Brockville, NY. As a teen, she attended Holley Central High School and played softball. After dating for five years, she married Edward Holt, who was her neighbor, in a ceremony at St. Mary's Church in Holley, NY. She worked at Kodak until she started a family, at which time she became a stay-at-home mom. Her family was her life and she enjoyed being with them no matter what the reason.
Dorothy enjoyed baking cookies for her grandkids, cooking, sewing, crafting, singing dancing, bowling, and was a member of the Home Bureau. She also volunteered to assist elections and census groups. Some of her favorite things included Big Band music, as well as music of the '50's and '60's. On television, she enjoyed watching Lawrence Welk and Turner Classic Movies. Dorothy was also known for always saying "why can't they be like us?"
Family and friends would describe Dorothy as someone who was optimistic, happy, generous, hospitable, but quiet and reserved. Always the peacemaker, Dorothy was a traditionalist who would always put others first and never spoke ill of anyone. She was thorough, creative, industrious, and lived her life by the Golden Rule. Dorothy will be dearly missed.
