Dorothy Croteau

Mrs. Croteau was my 5th grade teacher at Woodrow Wilson. I, too, remember her class project, US States. Mine was Massachusetts. I remember her challenging me on my facts concerning a lake called Chargoggagoggmanchauggagoggchaubunagungamaug. I believe she may have figured I made it up in order to take up a whole paragraph! The lake does exist, and it has been renamed Webster Lake! Teachers do make a difference our lives, especially the good ones. I am sure she is sorely missed.

Maurice , Denise, Phil and family, very sorry to hear of your Mom's passing, God bless. Bob and Karen Opeka

Dorothy, I am sorry that I was unable to attend your service. We taught together at Woodrow Wilson back in in 1959 through 1962. Remember our conversations at that time. Did run across a relative of yours over in Columbia Countty

Ray and Maurice, I was so very sorry to hear of your moms passing! She was always such a lovely lady! I will keep her and you both in my prayers! It is very difficult when we loose our parents! We are so fortunate to have the wonderful memories we do!!
May God keep you both close during this time and just always remember how much she loves you!

My goodness Mrs Croteau was my favorite teacher at Woodrow Wilson. She was so gentle and beautiful!

Mrs. Croteau was my 5th grade teacher at Woodrow Wilson School. She was one of my all time favorite teachers during my days at Wilson. I remember one class assignment was learning about states and mine was Alabama. My mom still has the project!

Thank you for teaching me how to appreciate education and hard-work! I value much of that to a teacher like you!


My thoughts and prayers to the Croteau family.

Dot was an inspiration to me on her summer visits to our home and camp in NH when I was just a young boy. I can remember her and Larry parking their camper on the side of our camp and watching the fun and laughter they brought to all of us as relatives and friends. Time has passed and we haven't stayed as close as we were in the 1960's and 1970's, but my memories of Dot are simply great. My condolences to all of you on your loss.

We are so sorry for your loss. I'll always remember her fondly at all the family get togethers. She was alway a pleasure to be with. Nancy and Joe Wlostowski
