    Dorothy “Dottie” Sweater Tomlinson, 88, of Quarryville, Wife, Mom, Grammy, Grammy Dot, Aunt Dot, and a Friend to all that knew her, left us on Saturday, March 27, 2021, because her work here is done.  She received the call; the call for an offer she accepted a long time ago, one that she couldn’t refuse, and was for an appointment from which she will not be returning.  This calling comes with a huge sign-on bonus, a reunion with family and friends she has not seen in a long time.  Her new mission took her to a wonderful place where she will be socializing, serving ice cream cones, milkshakes, and those yummy cheese steak sandwiches.  She will be playing cards, organizing concerts, and volunteering to her heart’s content. ​
