Dorothy E. Abbott, of Cornwall, NY entered into eternal rest on April 18, 2022 at Montefiore St. Luke’s Cornwall Hospital, Newburgh, NY. She was 102 years old.

A family statement reads: “Throughout her work and life Mom was always concerned about the well-being of others and did whatever she could to help people when needed.” She will be missed greatly. As Robert Frost's poem states: "So dawn goes down to day. Nothing gold can stay."
In addition to her parents, Dorothy was predeceased by her loving husband, Lyman Abbott, in 1957. She is survived by her devoted son, Larry Abbott of Belmont, ME, and two granddaughters, Kiera and Emma Abbott. Dorothy was also predeceased by her sister Edith Cambria.
