Dorothy Whitmore

I knew Dorothy and her family. My dad worked with Bond Whitmore to promote hocky for young kids in Anchorage. Last time I saw a Whitmore was at a hocky game at Denver University Ice Arena where their son was playing. They were nice folks.

Dorothy was the drivig force that helped me become a college counselor at foothill community college in Loa Altos Hills CA. After the '64earthquake Dorothy,s oldest daughter lived with us for the summer while she worked at Emards . Dorothy took such loving care of me! What an angel.

I have been lucky in being able to spend quite a lot of time with Dorothy over these past 15 years helping her with physical therapy issues. I always looked forward to visiting with her and having conversations about all sorts of issues and especially found her views on books she had been reading or local politics very astute. I have to say that she was one of my very favorite patients from over nearly 40 years of assisting people . She has one of the strongest and loving families that I...

Dorothy was a great help to me during a difficult time. We used to meet for soup and croissant lunches on Fridays at Barnes and Noble. I don't even remember how we met anymore. Did she have a knack for finding people in tough circumstances, and then becoming an active support? Her down-home, common sense was so refreshing! Not to mention that her own life accomplishments were very inspiring. I'm so glad someone sent me this link so I could read about Dorothy again.

What wonderful memories of your family and ours: Earthquake Day, 1964; Dorothy showing my mom (and dad) about knitting; ice rinks in the yard; food, fun, and great conversation and Dorothy right at the center. I'm so glad to have known her!

I worked in the Education Department with Dorothy at AMU, a special lady! We both worked with bush kids, and were happy to see AMU sponsor the Head Start training, and schooling for early childhood bush teachers. Dorothy helped get that started. A landmark! Special wishes and prayers for her family. Jane (Sutherland) Niebergall (Alaska)

Your mother was a truly inspired professional who helped me through a very difficult time in my life. She was gracious, kind and uplifting...what a blessing to all who knew her, I'm sure.

She was a remarkable woman. Thinking of your family, and all the people she cared about during her life.

I am so sorry to hear of Dean Whitmore's death. While I was attending AMU, she was very supportive of me and we had some lively discussions about some of my articles in The Paper, the student weekly paper. I was friend's with her son Bond and after his death, she would reminesce with me about him. She was such a positive influence for me and I'm very glad I knew her. My sincere condolences to her wonderful family.
