Dorothy L. Stedman

Dorothy was born in Massachusetts on December 21, 1928 to the late Patrick and Julia (Donnelly) Norris. Both of her brothers and sister have predeceased her.

In her youth Dorothy studied at the Boston Conservatory of Music and was a lyric soprano. She was a professional singer. A highpoint in her life and career was a concert she gave for the then U.S. President, Harry S. Truman.

Dorothy and Ed, when they resided in Monroe, were very active in the Community. Dorothy was founder and president of the MTVA (Monroe Taxpayers and Voters Association) and a founder and vice-chairman of MCAC (Monroe Citizens Audit Committee). Many Monroe residents recall Dorothy standing up at Town Hall meetings in opposition to tax increases.

Dorothy enjoyed spending time with friends and her little dog Toughie.

She will be greatly missed.
