Interment will be in East Batavia Cemetery, following the services.
Dorothy grew up in Batavia near what is now Fermi Lab. She attended a one-room schoolhouse and, following graduation from Madonna High School, she attended junior college where she studied business and secretarial skills.
She could type with amazing speed and remarkable accuracy, qualities which earned her a job at Belden Engineering in Batavia. Throughout the years, Dorothy's management skills helped her move through the ranks to become one of the senior officers of the company.
Her personal life was laced with tragic events which she survived with invisible strength that hid her pain from her daily world. Married first to Robert Pye in 1942, they were blessed with one daughter, Janet. Soon after Janet's birth, World War II took her father to sea with the Navy. He was bound for the Philippines when a typhoon struck the ship and Robert was lost. Ironically, as news of Robert's death reached Dorothy, she was herself trying to contact Robert by telegraph to tell him that their daughter had been stricken with pneumonia and died in Dorothy's arms. Years later, Dorothy married again and was due to deliver a son when a traumatic event left him stillborn. Time passed and, in the mid-1980s, retirement came with the burden of illness. But in those advancing years, Dorothy was blessed with the compassion of a priest whose visits to her home, and later to her nursing home, helped her to make peace with a life that was beyond understanding. So it was that when she passed away, she joined once more her beloved husband, Robert, and her two children in that place where every tear is wiped away and where the mystery of many dark nights is reconciled with eternal love and endless golden days.
In addition to several nieces and nephews, she issurvived by her brother-inlaw, `Bus' Merwyn Pye of Hot Springs, Ark.
She was preceded in death by her parents; brother, William Hawks; her two husbands; two children; and one brotherin-law.
