Dorothy L. Lemmert, “Dottie”, was born April 16, 1924 in Hazelton, PA to Helen Moyer Lemmert and George C. Lemmert; she died August 17, 2018 at Quarryville Presbyterian Retirement Community (QPRC) after 2 years of health challenges. Dottie graduated from high school in Hazelton, PA then earned a BS in Business Education from Indiana State Teacher’s College, of PA in 1946 and a MS in Education from Temple University in 1951. After teaching 2 years at West Reading High School she taught at Scott High School, Coatesville, PA for 3 years. Dottie taught business classes at Abington High School for 33 years, where she held a weekly Bible club. She also taught Bible classes for many years at the Church of the Open Door in Abington, PA where she was mentored by Pastor/Evangelist Jack Murray. She served as his personal secretary and the treasurer at Bible Evangelism, Hatfield, PA. Dottie’s last 19 years were spent at QPRC where she served residents by typing their memoirs, teaching computer skills, working in the mail room, and hosting family and friends from around the world. The turning point of Dottie’s life was when she came to a saving faith in Jesus Christ through the influence of her best friend Cathie Stern, a colleague at Scott HS. This impacted her teaching career and her life outlook. "I'm in the Lord's hands," was Dottie’s statement describing her life from this point forward. It was what she said several times in the weeks leading up to her passing.
Dottie was well-loved and is survived by a host of "adopted" nieces, nephews, and children, in Cathie Stern's family, and cousins and an aunt in the Moyer and Lemmert families. A Memorial Service will be held on Saturday, September 8, at 10:30 AM in the Ellingsworth Auditorium at Quarryville Presbyterian Retirement Community. In lieu of flowers contributions can be made to the Missions program at Independent Bible Church 709 Norristown Road, Warminster, PA 18974 or the Kinsman Fund at QPRC 625 Robert Fulton Highway, Quarryville, PA 17466.
