Dorothy Everin Obituary

Everin, Dorothy June Klopfer COLONIE Dorothy June Klopfer Everin, 93, a life-long resident of West Albany, died peacefully on May 15, 2021, at her home in Colonie. She was born on June 30, 1927, the daughter of the late William Lawrence Klopfer and Florence Caroline (Kloss) Klopfer and sister of the late William J. Klopfer. A 1945 graduate of Albany High School, she married James E. Everin in Albany on October 23, 1948. Until Jim's passing in 2001, together they enjoyed family gatherings with children and grandchildren, traveling throughout the United States, cheering for the Albany-Colonie Diamond Dogs, and activities with and in support of the Destroyers Escort Sailors Association (D.E.S.A.). After raising their three children Dorothy worked at WaldenBooks and, for 15 years, at H&R Block. She was a member of St. John's Lutheran Church in Albany and, later, Good Shepherd Lutheran Church in Loudonville. Dorothy will be remembered for her outstanding apple pies, her abundant flower gardens, her devotion to family, especially to her grandchildren and great-grandchildren, her abiding faith, and her readily shared warm smile. Dorothy was the beloved wife of 52 years of the late James Edward Everin; and the loving mother of Carol (Michael) Gerrish of Glenmont, June (Richard) Clark of Feeding Hills, Mass., and William (Dorothy Ebersole) of Ann Arbor, Mich. She was adored by her grandchildren, Robert (Ashley) Gerrish of Lyndonville, Vt., Lianna (Shaun Endres) Gerrish of Fort Collins, Colo., Elizabeth Clark of Sinking Spring, Pa., Martin (Kara) Everin of Canton, Mich., and Amy (Anthony) Ravenga of Ypsilanti, Mich.; and great-grandchildren, Isabelle and Ellenor Gerrish, Darren and Betty Everin, Harper and Hendrix Ravenga. The family extends their thanks to the compassionate nurses and workers of St. Peter's Hospital and the caring staff of Community Hospice for enabling Dorothy to realize her desire to pass peacefully from this life at her home, surrounded by her loving family. Relatives and friends are invited to attend Dorothy's funeral service at 11 a.m. on Friday, May 21, in St. John's Lutheran Church Chapel, 303 Sand Creek Rd., Colonie. Interment will follow in St. John's Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that Dorothy's friends share the kindness that she embodied. Contributions in Dorothy's memory to the Regional Food Bank of Northeastern New York at RegionalFoodBank.net and USS Slater, Destroyer Escort Historical Museum at USSSlater.org are welcome. reillyandson.com
