Obituary for Dorothy Mae Blastow
ROCKLAND - Dorothy Mae Blastow, 89, passed away peacefully, Monday, April 25, 2016.
Born in Rockland, December 10, 1926, she was the daughter of Henry Carmen and Agnes Wotton Hutchinson.
Dorothy was a loving mother, homemaker and friend to every generation of the Blastow and Hutchinson families.
A ‘red-headed firecracker’, she loved being at home and was a kid a heart. She sang and danced everything from the Depression Era up to Elvis. Simplicity was her virtue. A beautiful startling petite red-head, she had an air of aristocracy yet the demeanor of a pheasant.
She simply loved all of her family. She married Valmore G. Blastow, Sr. on January 3, 1946. Together they shared 51 years as one; until on March 24, 1997, he passed from her everyday grip.
Dorothy was predeceased by a grandson, Danny Blastow; son-in-law Lester Staples; her sisters, Ethel (Lavoie) Mank, Ida Davis, Ruth Harvey; and a brother Owen Hutchinson. She is survived by her daughter Barbara Staples; her sons, Valmore, Jr., Harry and Bruce; ten grandchildren, six great-grandchildren; one great-great-granddaughter; and sisters-in-law Gleneida Blastow and Alice Hutchinson.
A graveside funeral service will be held at 2:00 p.m., Monday, May 2, 2016 at Achorn Cemetery, Old County Road, Rockland. The Reverend Wayne Sawyer will officiate. A reception will follow at 104 Limerock.
Arrangements are in the care of Burpee, Carpenter & Hutchins Funeral Home, 110 Limerock Street, Rockland.
