Dorothy was known as "Mom" to many. She was the life of the party and loved to make people laugh with her humor and one-liners. She enjoyed music, dancing, traveling, cruising and spending time with her many good friends.
Dorothy loved to entertain and always dressed the part. She was quick to welcome all into her home to cook for them and "feed the people". She was a fan of the Patriots and Red Sox.
She was predeceased by her son, Richard Morrill.
The family includes three children, Robert "Rocky" Morrill of Raymond, James Morrill of Yarmouth, ME and Barbara Morrill of Manchester; three grandchildren, Sara Edgecomb, Lindsey Sands and husband, Mike, and Tory Barber and husband, Matt; nine great grandchildren; and her loving cat, Stop-It.
