Palmyra – Dorleen D. Carmel, age 80, passed away on Wednesday, December 3, 2025.

Dorleen was born in Canandaigua and was the daughter of Clark and Mary (Newman) Calhoun. She grew up in Victor and was a graduate of Victor Central School.

Most of all, Dorleen's grandchildren and great-grandchildren were her whole world.
