(From Clark Funeral Home)Dorothy M. Bates, aged 89, peacefully departed on January 11, 2024. She was born to Dale and Stella Roszell in San Antonio, TX, on April 6, 1934.
A graduate of Granby High School, Dorothy's journey unfolded with grace, warmth, and an enduring spirit.
Dorothy dedicated a significant part of her professional life to Raytheon Technology Aerospace, where her exceptional performance and exemplary work were acknowledged through her many promotions. Her retirement marked the end of a fulfilling chapter in her career.
A woman of many passions, Dorothy found solace and joy in tending to her garden, immersing herself in the world of literature as an avid reader, and staying informed by following the news.

A devoted fan of the St. Louis Cardinals, Dorothy's enthusiasm for the team added a vibrant touch to her life. However, her greatest legacy lies in the love and care she showered upon her nieces and nephews.
Dorothy's nurturing presence, unwavering support, and countless sacrifices created a bond that transcends time. Even as the children grew older and pursued different paths in life, the imprint of Dorothy's love remains indelible. Her role as a second mother is eternally etched in their memories, a poignant reminder of the remarkable woman who played a significant part in shaping their lives. Dorothy's love touched everyone around her, leaving a legacy of warmth, kindness, and cherished moments that will be forever remembered.
