Obituary of Dorothy A. Dunlevy

Dorothy Ann Dunlevy, 98, passed away on November 19, 2020 after a life filled with loving times with her husband Joe and their six children. Dot was born in March of 1922 in Jamaica, Queens, NY and married Joseph Dunlevy, the love of her life in 1943. Joe and Dot were both WWII veterans; Joe was in the Coast Guard and Dot was in the Navy where she was one of the first Waves. After the war they moved to Goshen, NY where they opened Joe Fix Its and raised their six children. Dot and Joe were a true team until she lost her soul mate in July 1994 after 51 years of marriage.
