Cecelia Ann Dorsch, known to her loved ones as Carol, mom, and grandma passed away on December 24, 2022, in Orlando, Florida, at the age of 78. She was born on October 11, 1944, in Alabama.

Carol was a remarkable woman who touched the lives of many. She was a loving mother, a cherished friend, and a joy to be around. Carol brought happiness and laughter wherever she went. Her warm and caring nature made her a beloved figure among her family, friends, and co-workers at United Parcel Service in Orlando.

Beyond her professional career, Carol was deeply passionate about foster care. She and her husband, Art Dorsch, fostered over 20 children, making a significant impact on their lives. Carol's dedication to fostering and her role as the president of Union County Foster Care in Maynardville, TN, showcased her unwavering commitment to helping others.

In her free time, Carol enjoyed indulging in her favorite hobbies. She had a love for shopping and was always on the lookout for the perfect find. Carol also cherished the company of her family and friends, finding joy in their presence. She had a special fondness for animals and found solace in their companionship.

Carol will be deeply missed by her surviving loved ones, including her devoted spouse, Arthur Dorsch. She is also survived by her daughter, Kimberly Flanary, and son-in-law, John Flanary, her daughter Tracy Salmons, and son-in-law, Brian Salmons, along with her beloved grandchildren, Ashley Flanary, Tyler Flanary, Emily Salmons, and Jadon Salmons. Her memory will forever remain in their hearts.

We remember Carol for her vibrant spirit, her kind heart, and her dedication to those in need. Her legacy will live on through the lives she touched and the love she shared. May she rest in peace.
