Dorothy Ann (O'Brien) Cimpi, age 91, died peacefully on March 13, 2026, at Glendale Nursing Home with her loving family by her side. Dorothy was born on December 23, 1934, in Auburn, N.Y. and was the daughter of the late Thomas and Florence (Keogan) O'Brien.

After high school, Dorothy graduated from St. Joseph's Nursing School in Rochester, NY. Along the way, Dorothy met her beloved late husband, Joseph, and the two were wed on November 26, 1955. She then embarked on her lifelong vocation as a registered nurse, serving the Capital District of New York, and centrally in Clifton Park. Prior to this position, she worked as a school nurse for Shenendehowa Central Schools.

Dorothy was blessed with her gift of nursing from a young age, which she utilized all throughout her life to help others. Everyone looked to her for her nursing talents and expertise, from family and friends to people she did not know. Along with her skills in medicine, Dorothy was a genuinely fun and loving person, with whom many people kept strong relationships. Another passion of Dorothy's was playing bridge in all kinds of leagues, which she excelled in and kept up right until her illness overcame her.
