She is survived by her daughter, Carole Murphy; and three grandchildren: Christine Horan, Jeri Savoie (Donald) and Samuel Roberts. In addition she leaves behind five great-grandchildren and four great-great grandchildren whom she loved dearly.

Dot loved her family, lemon meringue pie, a nice piece of fish, holidays, good food, and her many, many friends. She was a kind and gentle woman who was easy to love.
