Dorothy Rambaud Obituary
Dorothy was born July 3, 1931 to the late Gideon and Ella Taylor (Ulbricht). She was a graduate of Massillon Washington High School. She was a member of the Eastern Star. Dorothy retired as a transcriptionist, working many years for Dr. Charles Paquelet. Dorothy and her late husband, Clarence, were lifetime ticket holders for Massillon Tiger Football for over 50 years. For many years, she participated in the Ladies League at Riceland Golf Course. Dorothy will be dearly missed by everyone who knew her.
Dorothy is survived by her children Charlotte Powell (Randy, deceased) and Clarence Rambaud Jr. (Barb); grandchildren Judson Rambaud (Jackie), Jessica Nixon (Derek) and Erin Martinez (Stephen); and 15 great-grandchildren.
In addition to her parents, Dorothy is preceded in death by her loving husband of 70 years, Clarence Rambaud Sr.; siblings Harry Taylor (Gerry), Robert Taylor (Veronica), Eugene Taylor, Dutch Taylor (Alice) and Eileen Davis (Hampton).
The family would like to express their gratitude to Sharon Dentler, a dear friend of Dorothy and Clarence for over 43 years. Also, Kim and Denny Bricker, Tom and Laurie Salopek, and Rob and Donna Walker, neighbors who went above and beyond to watch over and care for Dorothy for many years.
Per Dorothy's request, cremation has taken place. A graveside service will be held on Tuesday, October 29, 2024, at 2PM in Rose Hill Memorial Gardens, 3655 Wales Ave. NW, Massillon, OH 44646. Pastor Toby Oaks will be officiating. Memorial donations may be made to the Shriner's Hospital for Children, at donate.lovetotherescue.org.

When I was a patient at Shriners Children's (then Shriners Hospital for Cripled Children) Clarence and Dotothy took an interest in me. Their care and concern for me lasted for over 60 years. I love them dearly and will miss them greatly, especially Dorothy's monthly phone chats with me. Bub and Charlotte, my sincerest condolences and gratitude for sharing your parents with me. They were truly a beautiful people

It´s been a long time since I´ve seen Dorothy. Charlotte and I grew up together and I remember going to her house after school and it was always a good time. Both of her parents were gems!! Made you feel welcome and like one of their own. I know they are missed. Hugs and prayers for the family.

I have so many memories of CO and Dorothy that I don´t know which one to share. One of my favorites is when we would often play six handed euchre with Dorothy, Clarence, my mom and dad (Donna and Bill Yatsko), and Mike and I. We had to keep a sharp on those three guys as they were caught cheating more than once.
I just wonder how many times they actually did get away with it.
Dorothy will be missed. She was a very giving and gracious lady. She was willing to help whenever and wherever as he was needed.
