Doris Emmond Obituary
She was preceded in death by her husband, Robert Emmond, in 2007, sister, Florence Pouliot and brother, Earl Harriman.
She leaves behind a daughter, Bonnie Meroth and husband Don; a son Steve Emmond and wife Lupe; grandchildren Wendy, Heather, Camalin, Shilene, and Kheri; nine great-grandchildren; and two great-great grandchildren.
She did not retire until her seventies. She loved to bowl and bowled candlepin in leagues at the Rochester Bowlaway Lanes. She also enjoyed bowling the WII game almost on a daily basis at Carriage Hill. One was hard pressed to beat her consistent over 200 scores. She was a volunteer for many years at Frisbie Memorial Hospital and worked with non-profit organizations such as Dreams Come True and Strafford County Homemakers.
She moved to Carriage Hill Assisted Living in Madbury as their first resident where she enjoyed the last years of her life and considered residents and staff her family. She took delight in nature, birds and animals or just looking out her windows where she could watch University of NH fields. She would watch the clouds that crawled over blue or gray skies. She loved rides to the mountains and trips to the ocean in winter to find snowy owls or in summer to find fried clams. She also loved to Skype!
Those who knew Doris also knew of her devotion for Elvis and his music. Her bookshelves held years of collecting memorabilia, history, CD's. DVD's and scrapbooks from his life. She always said her trip to Graceland was a highlight of her life.
She was loved by all and will be dearly missed.
SERVICES: Her ashes will rest with her husband at the VA Cemetery in Boscawen. A celebration of life will be held at a later date. Arrangements are under the care of the R.M. Edgerly & Son Funeral Home, 86 South Main St., Rochester, N.H. To sign the online guestbook, please visit www.edgerlyfh.com.

Dot will remain in my heart as one of my most devoted and special patients for the decades I worked in her dental office as her hygienist. She made an impact on anyone she encountered with her demeanor and with her perspective, taught us how to roll with the punches and keep plodding ahead with a positive attitude. I extend my sincerest condolences to her family and also her caretakers at Carriage HIll, where she spent the last chapter of her life. We are all better people because of her.

To all of Dots family, I am so very sorry for your loss. I'm am still shocked and saddened. I miss her very much. She definitely became a good friend, and I love and miss her so much. I will never ever forget her. Whenever I hear Elvis, or see a chipmunk, or a bug zapper, a fox tail looking duster, Wii bowling, or even a cup of black coffee, I will think about Dot. Thank you for letting me be apart of all of your lives over the years. I love you all, and may Dot now be in peace with her husband, and Elvis. lots of love and hugs to you all.
Sincerely, Angela Flinkstrom

You were the coolest grandmother anyone could ask for! You took us bowling, roller skating to the movies and everyone always thought we were your kids You always let us stay up to watch Dallas on the many weekends we had sleep overs at your house. You will be missed more than you know. Love you so much❤

I will always remember with fondness traveling to Rochester to stay with Aunt Dot. I remember as a child staying up late when we got to Nutter St and sitting in the kitchen with Aunt Dot and my mother just chit-chatting and catching up. What I remember is sitting on the piano stool. What wonderful memories!
