Dorothea RAY Obituary
A native of Brooklyn, N.Y., Dot had been a Peninsula resident since 1980. She remained the world's greatest care-giving mom and grandma to the very end.
Dot was preceded in death by her husband, Robert.
Left behind to cherish her memory are Dot's three sons, Rob (Jan) of Arlington, Texas, Tom (Beth) of Milwaukee, Wis., and Don (Natalie) of Newport News; six grandchildren; and four great-grandchildren. Of special note are her friends and extended family, the residents of Warwick Forest, who have shared some wonderful times over the last six year. Dot will be sorely missed by all whose life she impacted in such a wonderful and caring way.
Services and funeral arrangements are pending.
Peninsula Funeral Home is in charge of arrangements. View and post condolences on our online guestbook at dailypress.com/guestbooks.
