Dorothy is survived by her beloved children Helen Hoey (Michael) of Bremerton WA, Anne Scott (Alexander Peck) of Manhattan, and Robert Scott of Whitehall. She was pre-deceased by her cherished daughter Patricia Scott, Sister Jane Clarke, and Brother Charles Munger.

Dorothy was proud of her seven grand-children, Elizabeth Van and Andrew Hoey; Scott Bascue, Christopher Bascue and Kate Wiskoski; and Joseph and Benjamin Peck; and drew enormous pleasure from her ten great-grandchildren.
