CAMDEN- Dorothy A. “Dottie” Thitchener, 91, passed away on Monday, October 21, 2024. Born in Poughkeepsie, N.Y., she was a daughter of the late George Dewey Dunn and Elsie Van Leuven Dunn. Dottie was a member of Bethel Worship Center. She enjoyed reading, book clubs, cooking, gardening, bird watching, road trips, building snowmen in the winter with her grandchildren; and spending time with her children and grandchildren.

    She was a bookkeeper most of her life. When she was younger, she loved to dance the Lindy Hop and other 1950’s dances. Dottie was always a member of a church and loved to serve others. She gave her time and presence every Monday to visit people who couldn’t leave their homes. She brought friendship and company in to them. Dottie volunteered with Meals on Wheels. In the church, she volunteered with the children’s programs and also with the Grief Share program. She gave herself selflessly and cared deeply for others in her community. Her smile, warmth and laughter would brighten and soften any room. She was always grateful for all of her blessings.
