Biography

Dorothy H. Poette, 80, passed away Thursday, November 4, 2021, with loved ones by her side.

Born June 20, 1941, in Attleboro Falls, MA, she was the daughter of Herbert Hyde and Alice Whittemore.

Dorothy earned her associates degree. She married David E. Poette, Sr.

Some of her enjoyments in life included painting, going to the gym with friends, going out to lunch, and spending time with her family. She was a member of the YMCA and volunteered at Glens Falls Hospital, the Hyde Museum, and Lending Hearts and Hands. She also supported 4S4Life and the local Indian School.

Our beloved and precious mother, Dorothy devoted herself to her family and their wellbeing. Dorothy was always giving of herself to her daughters, stepchildren, grandchildren, nieces and nephews, friends and husband, and was always happy to do so. They say ordinary people have extraordinary love and as we come to celebrate her life, we, who were close to her, thrived happily on her selfless love. The world lost an amazing light and nothing we could write can compare to the irreplaceable presence she touched us with and how she loved unconditionally with her heart, therefore she will never leave our hearts.
