So sad to know of Dorothea's passing away. I used to live in the same dorm building with Dorthea, her late husband Sami and daughter Lameece in the mid nineteen fifties when Sami and I were teaching science courses at Birzeit College in Palesine. We often visited and Dorthea was a superb host. She was respected and loved by everybody who knew her. May God bless her soul and provide solace to her family to bear with her tragic loss
