Obituary of Dorothy May Fassett

Dorothy May Huber Fassett "Dot" Age 86, of Elmira, NY, passed away at the home of her daughter, Beverly Fassett, surrounded by her loving family, on Saturday, September 18, 2010. Dorothy was born February 15, 1924 in Elmira, the daughter of Francis Dewitt Huber and Lillian Goewey Huber. Dorothy married her beloved husband, and friend, Raymond G. Fassett, whom she has dearly missed since his death in 2006. She is survived by her children, Robert F. Fassett of Sarasota, FL and Binghamton, Beverly M. Fassett of Binghamton, and Joanne F. Dalrymple, with husband David, of Elmira; grandchildren, Henry and Matthew Dalrymple. Dorothy graduated from Elmira Free Academy. She worked 33 years for the Hilliard Corporation and retired in 1988 as Credit Manager. She was a fantastic cook; no one could make a better apple pie. She loved the outdoors, was a skilled gardener, and enjoyed the birds and other wildlife that were frequent visitors to "Grandma's Backyard." Dorothy also loved swimming, golfing, volunteering, camping, and traveling with her family. After retirement, Dot and Ray (and the dogs) traveled the USA in their RV. Dorothy was a dedicated wife, a wonderful mother, and a fantastic grandmother. The family would like to give special thanks to Lori Peterson, Nadine Glowacki, and Joanna Walton for their love and compassion in caring for our mom. There will be no calling hours. A Memorial Service will be held at North Presbyterian Church, College Ave. and Irvine Place, Elmira, on Saturday, October 2, 2010 at 10:00 a.m. Interment will be at the family's convenience.
