Remembering Dorothy Moyer
Posted on: November 23, 2009
by CORINTH -- Dorothy R. Moyer, age 88, a former resident of Corinth, passed away on Nov. 17, 2009, at Maplewood Manor in Ballston Spa.
Born on Dec. 24, 1920, in Williamstown, Pa., she was the daughter of the late Thomas and Sarah (Smith) Hoffman. She was the youngest of five children.
Dorothy graduated in 1938, from Williamstown High School. Following graduation and until marriage, she was employed as a secretary at the local high school.
On Nov. 16, 1940, she married Charles L. Moyer. They moved from Williamstown to Rome, N.Y., during World War II and then to Corinth in 1949.
She was a longtime, active member of the Corinth Wesleyan Church. Her faith in God was the cornerstone of her life. She was also a member of the Eastern Star for more than fifty years, holding office of Chaplin many of those years.
Dorothy especially enjoyed her volunteer work for the Adirondack Regional Hospital Auxiliary as its secretary and also in the hospital's snack bar until the facility closed its doors. She was an active member of the Emergency Squad Auxiliary for many years as well as a volunteer at the Corinth Community Food Pantry.
Dorothy enjoyed spending her time making crafts for church events, as well as embroidering and crocheting items to give her friends and family. Her greatest pleasure was as a homemaker placing her family at the center of her life.
She was predeceased by her parents; her two brothers, Mark and Howard Hoffman; her two sisters, Elisie McCord and Florence Hoffman; her husband, Charles; and her daughter of two years, Joyce Marie.
Survivors include her two children, John Moyer and Darlene and David Eggleston; and one grandchild, Isaac Moyer and his girlfriend, Holly Allen, all of Corinth.
Expressions of sympathy may take the form of donations to the Corinth Wesleyan Church at 292 River St., Corinth, NY 12822.
