Dorothy Carmel Williams (Longo), age 98, went to be with her Lord and Savior while at home on Sunday, April 30, 2023. She will be lovingly remembered by her brother, Thomas Longo; many nieces, nephews, and friends. Dorothy was preceded in death by her husband of 63 years, Donald Williams; her parents; and three brothers and sisters-in-law.
Dorothy loved watching the wildlife in her backyard. Deer, birds, and turkeys were frequent visitors outside her picture windows. She was an avid reader, especially mysteries. Other interests were gardening, antiquing, golfing, volunteering for the Santa Clause Girls, and enjoying her dark chocolate goodies. Dorothy was also an active member of St. Anthony of Padua Catholic Community Church.
