Dorothy E. Muir

I will always remember Aunt Dot as the "constant" faimily member. I think that sums her up well: whatever the occassion, she always made an appearance, even up to the end. Whereas I would forget what day Christmas is on if it weren't for the signs everywhere, she somehow remembered everyone's birthdays--all four generations of us would get cards in the mail every year. I got to come up and visit this past Christmas with the family and, sure enough, there she was, almost 95 and still going...

Aunt Dot was always organized. She had every birthday, every anniversary, and every special occasion listed in her date book, and never failed to send a card.
She also knew how to set boundaries with us as kids, when she babysat. I knew she would not approve, so when the neighbor boys invited Jill and me to climb up the barn roof to sled down on cardboard, we had to sneak up there without her knowledge. When I fell off the edge, Jill went right to Aunt Dot to tell her my plight. She...

Her favorite phrase in later months was "I am so blessed!" She saw the best in each person, and cherished all her family and friends.

Aunt Dot helped to raise four generation of children. She was a firm disciplenarian, yet staying overnight at her house always was fun and provided many of us fond memories. Family was always a priority. She always stayed in close contact with family members, visiting when possible, and helped keep all of us in contact with one other. She had no children of her own, but instead "adopted" her nephews and nieces as well as their children and grandchildren.

Her marriage with Gib Muir...

Betty and family, Dr Bob's family...we are sorry to learn of your aunt's passing. Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time.
