A private service.
The family has chosen to gather privately. Memories and condolences are warmly welcomed below.
Dorothy Lee Fontaine believed that the best way to welcome someone was to pull up another chair. Her kitchen table was rarely empty: a neighbor stopping by, a grandchild finishing homework, or a friend in need of an unhurried conversation.
She grew herbs in old terracotta pots, kept a handwritten recipe box, and found small reasons to celebrate every season. The people who knew Dorothy remember her steady kindness and the way she made ordinary afternoons feel special.
Her family has chosen a private gathering. Friends are invited to share a favorite story or a few words of remembrance below.
