Dorothy Frostick Obituary

Published by Potomac News and Manassas Journal Messenger on Jan. 20, 2005.
Dorothy Blythe Frostick, age 47, died on Jan. 16, 2005. She was a resident of Warrenton since 1987, and active in the community and loved by many. She was born May 19, 1957, to William J. and Mary Jane Lloyd and grew up in Arlington County. She obtained a Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology from Virginia Commonwealth University in 1980. Dorothy married Randolph Frostick in 1981 and the newlyweds resided in Williamsburg until 1982 when they moved to Salem, VA. In 1983, Dorothy and her husband moved to Centreville. She then obtained an Associate Degree in Physical Therapy Assisting from Northern Virginia Community College in 1985. She worked as a physical therapy assistant until the birth of her son Jason Lloyd Frostick in 1986. Her daughter Sarah Blythe Frostick was born in 1988. Dorothy was a dedicated mother, but still found time to pursue other interests and civic affairs. After moving to Ivy Hill subdivision in 1992, she learned to weave baskets, which she sold at craft fairs. She served as a member of the board of directors and secretary for the Ivy Hill Homeowners Association for a number of years. She also became the Registrar of the Fauquier County Soccer Club. A dedicated soccer mom, Dorothy never missed a soccer game being played by her children, and even served as the assistant coach for the Taylor Middle School Girls Soccer team during its first season of play. She loved children and was particularly good with small children. Her primary joy came from being with her husband and children, and she enjoyed traveling, boating, hiking and gardening. Dorothy was a gourmet cook and loved to entertain and try new foods with her family and many friends. Dorothy is survived by her husband, children, mother and sisters, Marney Hackley and Megan Allen. A memorial service will be held at 4 p.m. on Thursday, Jan. 20, at Moser Funeral Home, 233 Broadview Ave., Warrenton, VA. In lieu of flowers, contributions should be made to the American Red Cross or the Salvation Army for the Tsunami Relief Fund.

My heart is broken and yet full of joy.. I will forever miss and love Dorothy. Preschool began a connection between our families. Jason, Sarah, Randy, we will be here for you in anyway you can use our assistance . Our love and thoughts are with you. Dorothy's smile and touch will be missed in ways that are still unseen, but her touch is always here too. Just looking into each person she was associated with will bring a smile until the end of time. Her time with us was short but always a pleasure. With fond and loving memories, David & Rene'

To me Dorothy is a young woman in High School, because that is when I knew her. She had a light, accesible, intelligent air. She was beautiful. I couldn't have named it then, but had some awareness that she seemed very comfortable in her own skin - her own person. Now that seems like an accomplishment for a suburban girl in the 1970's.



My prayers are for Dorothy, her family and friends.

For all of Dorothy's family, I'm so sorry. To me, she was Megan's "big sister", and I can't imagine losing mine. May your memories help you through this devastating time.

We were shocked and saddened to read about Dorothy's death at the prime of her life. John has had a professional association for many years with Randy. Dorothy's path and mine (Jane's) may have crossed from time to time, although I don't think either one of us would remember meeting one another. I, like her, am 47 and a mother of two, so her death touches me deeply. Our prayer's are with Dorothy's family.

Dorothy was a spectacular woman. She was beautiful, talented, and loving. Randy made her part of our family and we will never be the same without her.

Doro thy in the middle,

now there's a big hole in the middle

and in our hearts.



She was my sister.



We shared a bedroom,

bithdays, two days apart,

Betsy Wetsy.

When I ate all my Halloween candy, I'd try and find where she had hidden hers.

She would "borrow" my clothes.

We were college roommates.



She was my sister.



We didn't always get along,

my father would say

"your sister will always be your best friend".

I was looking forward to moving back to Virginia,

and renewing our friendship.

Hanging out.

Becoming crazy old ladies together.



She was my sister

and she slipped away.



I Love you Dorothy.

Dear Randy, Jason and Sarah:

I was so sorry to hear of Dorothy's passing. She was such a warm and friendly person - I never saw her without her beautiful smile. She was so proud of her children. I will never forget her kindness to me. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

We will miss Dorothy so very much. Always a cheery smile and wave as she drove to and from her lovely house and wonderful family. What a great friend she was to so many of us. What a remarkable family she raised. The Ivy Hill community owes much to her, Randy and the children.

My dear friend Dorothy has been more than a friend to me over the past 14 years, she was my sister regardless of our bloodlines. There are no words to express the sorrow of her departure from this world. I know that she has found a new home & that she will be at peace there. Someday I will be visiting her and anticipate great food, laughter & conversation, a good bottle of champagne, a really hot tub, an excellent masseur (or two), and a big welcoming hug. I will miss Dorothy terribly & have placed her deeply into my heart.

Sleep peacefully, Dorothy. Rest while you can, because when we meet again, there'll be nothing stopping us!

Love always and forever. Helen

Randy, Jason, Sarah & MJ,

Mere words are inadequate to express how I feel about the loss of Dorothy. I am fortunate to be able to recall the wonderfully hilarious times we all spent together in the years before we left Virginia.

Love to you,
