DOROTHY SCHILL BARBARITO "DOTTIE"
Dorothy Schill Barbarito "Dottie" of Atlantic Beach Florida passed away August 25, 2023 at the age of 87 years old. She was born and raised in Jacksonville, Florida to Emma Mickler Schill, and "Gus" Gustav William Schill. The youngest of ten children, she loved being the baby and adored her siblings. Raised in the San Marco area, she attended Assumption Catholic School, as well as being part of the second graduating class of Bishop Kenny High School. After graduation, she worked for Southern Bell, before landing her dream job as a flight attendant for National Airlines. Soon after she met the love of her life, Ed Barbarito. They married three months later and remained married for 63 years.
Over the years she enjoyed many activities, but playing tennis at Selva Marina Country Club gave her so much enjoyment and so many friends that she treasured. This helped to keep her active into her seventies. Family was the most important part of her life and she wanted to be at every event that came with 5 children, 26 grandchildren, and 14 great grandchildren.
Dottie and Ed enjoyed the local restaurants at the beach in later years, and she never lost her zest for travel. Over the years they got to travel to many places including China and Hong Kong. One of the highlights of her life was a European cruise with her best friend and niece Margie Mears. Faith and Family sustained her to the end.
