Dorothy Wilson, age 94, of South Weymouth, passed peacefully on Sunday morning, April 14th, with her loving and caring family at her side. Born and raised in Chelsea, Dorothy ("Dotty") was the seventh of 11 children of the late William F. and Catherine (Harvey) Dunn. A resident of Chelsea for 70 years, Dorothy attended St. Rose School and was a longtime parishioner of St. Rose Church. Dorothy's life centered around her faith and her family.
Dorothy most enjoyed her time with family, especially singing with her siblings, entertaining at many family celebrations throughout the years. In recent years, Dorothy enjoyed her days at the Elder Service Plan of Harbor Health (PACE) and was known for her love of music and dancing.
With glints of glee and mischief in her eyes, Dorothy loved to make others laugh with her quick wit, plays on words, and stories of family antics at 19 Blossom Street.
Dorothy is predeceased by her husband Neil F. Wilson, Sr., sisters Agnes Moreschi, Helen Magee, Mary Keefe, Alice Lombard, and June Antle, and her brothers, John, William, Joseph, and Edward "Pat" Dunn.
Dorothy is survived by her children and their spouses, Kathleen DiLorenzo and her husband Edward of South Weymouth; Neil F. Wilson, Jr. and his wife Cheryl of Groveland; Daniel Wilson and his wife Catherine of Tewksbury; William Wilson and his wife Kate of West Hartford, CT; and Mary Brooks and her husband Robert of Braintree. Â She is survived by her dear sister Christine Dunn of East Weymouth, as well as 18 cherished grandchildren and 7 great grandchildren, many extended family members, and friends.
