   It was a privilege to have known Dottie..  One cannot think of this lovely lady without remembering her kindness, her elegance of spirit and her dedication.  She was beloved by students and faculty alike and made a difference in numerous lives.  

I am truly saddened about the loss of Ms. Myers.  She was known for her kindness and patience with all those who interacted with her at Glenwood ES.  She was loved by many (both students and staff).  She always did extra things for the school community (decorating for the holidays, creating a garden, etc.) but she never wanted the attention from them.  She was special and will be greatly missed.  My condolences go to her husband, daughter, many friends, and the staff at Glenwood.  

I drove at Glenwood for 3 years. My bus came in late everyday, and everyday I saw Dottie as I pulled in to pick up my students. Students were always giving her hugs goodbye for the day and even when she was busy she would alway stop to hug them back. I am struck with grief that she is gone and send many prayers and blessings to the family. ❤️RIP

It was my privilege/ honor to work with Dottie for several years in the PE department at Glenwood .  Her unwavering joy of teaching her students was a pleasure to behold . Dottie also was so vey proud of her family and the love she expressed for them was quite evident in her conversations Dottie was also passionate about wildlife and photography . I will miss her friendship and sharing  photos with her .  Jim Perkins 

Tom and Dot have been my neighbors for 36 years. I cannot imagine what Tom is going through. My prayers and sympathy to Tom, Jennifer and the rest of the family

I am just glad to have the pleasure of personally knowing Mrs. Myers while I was was growing up. She was one of my favorite PE teachers at Glennwood. Mrs.Myers always had a smile on her face everyday and was always kind to everyone. She even went out of her way to talk to the children who were having a rough day just to cheer them up. Mrs. Myers you will be greatly missed and thank you for being a wonderful PE teacher!

Dottie was a special soul. She had a certain "quiet kindness" about her as she moved about our school. She was kind to the students every day, even when challenged. She was kind to all of her colleagues and they sincerely appreciated that. Some mentioned that it came when they needed kindness. I will miss seeing her walk her many laps each morning, at times with a light because it was before daylight! Dottie loved her small flower garden outside the back of the school so we are going to continue maintaining this so she can smile!

I also had the pleasure of working with Dottie many years ago. She indeed was a super sweet, a compassionate  and a hardworking young lady.   Jen, Tom & family  you are in my thoughts and prayers.    RIP . Dottie. 

Tom & I met Dottie in 1984 when she worked at Brand Showrooms. We were honored to know Dottie and meet Tom & Jennifer and spend time at their home.   We exchanged Christmas cards with Dottie every year and loved to see what surprise glitter she put in the cards. She was a wonderful person. We send our deepest condolences to Tom & Jennifer.

Mrs. Meyers will always be remembered as someone who cared about everyone around her. I t was a privilege to work with her and share in the creative ideas she brought to the physical education department at Glenwood. Her quiet spirit and calm demeanor will forever rest in the hearts and minds of those that knew her.  Glenwood Elementary School was very blessed to have her on board and set the example of unconditional love and unity. She will be sorely missed.

I am heartbroken to hear of Dottie Myers passing. As a bus driver at Glenwood for close to five years, I had the honor of getting to know her and see her interactions with all of her students. The love she had for the children was as evident as the love they had back for her. Dottie had a beautiful spirit and I loved the way she would dress up with the kids at Glenwood on special days. She will be sorely missed by all who knew her and cared about her. My most sincere condolences to her family. 

Dottie was the first teacher to arrive every morning at Glenwood Elementary. She would walk around the grounds no matter what the weather conditions. After school she would ride her bike long distances. She exemplified health and well being. Dottie was respected and loved by the staff and students. She is the finest example of an educator who makes a difference!

I met Mrs Myers at Glenwood Elementary School as a substitute PE Assistant. She always welcomed me, and made me feel part of the team. If I had any questions, she was more than happy to tell me what to do . Mrs Myers is going to be remembered as a loving teacher to her kids and also to the people who had the opportunity to work with her in the School system. My sincere condolences to her husband and daughter. 

Dottie was a colleague, but most important she became a very special friend. We shared so many special times together talking about all kinds of things. Her students that she taught over the past 30 years were so very important to her. She liked it when she would go out and a former student recognized her.
Her daughter Jen playing softball in High School which I would go and watch. Jen in college , Then when Jen would start doing  her triathlons, where she would be going. All over the country and world. She was so very proud to be her Mom! 
I miss my dear friend. God Bless you, Love you Dottie

My sincere condolences to Jen and her family over this devastating loss.  I know your hearts are breaking and hope you can find some peace and solace in the many beautiful memories and happy times you shared with your mother.

I’ve been avoiding this because it’s still hard to believe that someone as loving, caring, and giving as Dottie is no longer with us. Mrs. Myers was an incredible coworker but Dottie Myers was an even better friend who gave her heart to those she cared about.  Her personality was so big and such a joy to be around especially the past few years in PE at Glenwood. Dottie’s beautiful soul will be missed but never forgotten.

Rest easy my friend....

Although I was not a very well-behaved student of her's, I still remember the love she spread to me and my fellow students. I will  forever feel the lasting impression of her teaching and while she has passed away, she will live on through the lives she has touched.


Rest in peace, Mrs. Myers.

Dottie was one of the most beautiful souls I ever met.  She treated everyone with respect and kindness.  She treated every child like her own.  She will be missed by many and was an example to all who knew her.

 I will always remember Dottie for her compassionate nature.  She always did what was best for children. We are all richer for having known her.



Dottie was one of the sweetest professionals I have worked with during my 32 years of teaching. She performed every aspect of her job with sincerity, kindness and a true love of working for the best educational experience for her students. Her passing is a loss to so many outside of your family and I am so thankful that you have given us this means to express what a blessing Dottie was to Glenwood and the enormous amount of children and people she left a positive impact on. My sincerest sympathies to her family and may God give you strength and comfort in the days to come.

Dottie and I were coworkers and friends for 8 years in the PE department. I have so many memories of the crazy things we did together. Not many knew how funny she was, and we had some great times. I will miss how happy she would be to give to others in so many ways. Glenwood PE will never be the same. 
Tom and Jen you both know that Her love for you both was unmeasurable,  and so my hope is that she is at peace knowing you have each other, and that she was loved by so many.

Tom and Jennifer I am so sorry for your loss. I am deeply saddened to know that Dottie has passed away. Her memories  will forever be in my heart. 

I had the pleasure of working with Dottie during my 13 years at Glenwood. We had a great working relationship and I considered her a good friend. We could joke about everything and we were always on the same page! She was considerate, hard-working and so kind-hearted.  I will treasure the great memories I have of her. 

Mrs. Dorothy may god bless you and take care of you. I have never met you but if you are anything like your daughter, you are a outstanding, kind, genuine and hard working. I'm sure Jen got those traits from you and her father. I'm sure you will be missed by your family, friends and coworkers. May God Bless your family. Jen if you need Anita and I just reach out and we will do our best. We know you have a heavy heart but be sure that God has a place for your mother.  

Dottie was the absolute BEST PE Assistant!! She was always prepared for each class!! Dottie was so patient with the children and they loved her and respected her!! Another thing I LOVED about Dottie was her SPIRIT!! When a holiday occurred she was dressed for it in her holiday splendor!!! 
She will be extremely missed, now and forever!! 
Fondly, Cec Drucker

Kind-hearted,  dependable, hard-working......barely describes what Dottie was to those of us who worked with her. She and I began working together at Green Run Elementary when we got to know one another.  Years later, when at Glenwood Elementary, Dottie arrived and we re-kindled our friendship. I know the family realizes what a treasure Dottie was, so I need to tell you that those of us who worked with her realized it as well.  Please remember that as we remember her. The world was a better place with her in it.

I was heartbroken to hear about this.  Dottie is one of the nicest people I know & I have a lot of fun memories with Dottie, Tom & Jennifer.  Taking the kids trick or treating,  visiting out front while the kids and dogs played.  I consider myself blessed to call Dottie a friend.  Our hearts and prayers go out to Tom & Jennifer.
vaya con Dios Dottie.

So many of my growing-up memories include the Myers family. Mrs. Myers made THE BEST peanut butter and jelly sammiches - with the grape jelly plopping on the plate! Holidays, birthdays, walking to the bus stop, hanging out in the backyard, hurricane season funness, late nights playing until the street lights came on while the dogs ran around, milestones, deployments, getting in trouble when we messed up, getting hugs when we needed them, cookouts, pool parties, and so many more shenanigans, Mrs. Myers was there. She will be missed by many. Mr. Myers and Jen, we are sharing in your heartache. This wasn't how this year was supposed to go at all...

I worked with Dottie in the PE department at Glenwood Elementary.  First of all, Dottie was the most giving person that I have ever met! It made her happy to give to other people!! Dottie was very creative and artsy!  She loved to  make awards for the kids when they would run in the Turkey Trot, or other races that we did. 
Dottie loved the kids and her PE family, but most of all Dottie loved her own family!  She was so proud of Jen’s accomplishments!  
She would show us pictures of Jen getting ready to compete.
Dottie, you will be missed my many! Rest easy my friend!! 💕💕

We’ll always have a special chair for Dottie to watch our hummingbirds in our garden.

Dottie and I  shared a love of anything Snoopy. She always surprised  me with little gifts . I treasured her friendship and kindness. She made Glenwood a better place .
