Dorothy Morrissette

SIDNEY – Dorothy Morrissette, 91, passed away Thursday, Sept. 15, 2022, at the Augusta hospital after a period of failing health.

She was born in Waterville, March 23, 1931. She graduated from Waterville High School in 1949. She was married to Donald A. Morrissette for 40 years until his passing in 1993. They spent many happy years on Snow Pond in Sidney, and then were fortunate to be able to retire and enjoy warmer winters in Florida. After Don’s passing, she continued to travel to Florida, and spent the happiest times of her life there among many wonderful friends at Plantation Landing in Haines City. She took up golf (at age 60!) and played two and three times a week, having the best time. She had the fondest memories of those times and spoke of them often.

She is survived by her only child, Donna Witham and her husband David of Sidney, her grandson Kevin Foye of Oakland, and two great-grandsons, Corey Foye of Portland, and Collin Foye of Gardiner, sons of the late Tim Foye who passed away in 2009. She never stopped missing him.

She had the biggest heart and was happiest when she could take care of us. We shall miss her terribly.

She didn’t want any funeral service and will be buried at the Veteran’s Cemetery on Civic Center Drive, in Augusta. No date has been set.

Her care is being handled by Gallant Funeral Home of Waterville and Gracelawn Memorial Park in Auburn.
