Barbara… A genuine, kind, loving, compassionate,  loyal, expressive, intelligent, wonderful, intellectual and humane individual had heart and a great sense of humor with a zeal for life who was a good friend will be sorely missed by everyone this lovely lady touched. 
It was my honor to know Barbara!  
There is little wonder her daughter Allyson and grandson Alex are the people they are. 
Barbara was a blessing to all who knew her and her love remains with everyone she touched. 
Allyson everything was beautiful yesterday and I’m so very glad to have met Alex and so very many others who adored this fine woman. 
If you need anything, please do not hesitate to reach out. 
XOXO,

Dear Allyson,
The family was sorry to hear of the passing of your mother, our cousin Barb. We know that her presence and her joyous laugh will be missed. Unfortunately I was not able to attend the service but I know she was honored and remembered for her generosity and for her work in tracing the ancestry of our people.
Much Love,
Cousin Mary Bair, cousin Cassandra Bair Mimidis, & family

Allyson, you had a wonderful Mother who I grew fond of through the years. When she spoke of you I could feel the love of a caring and proud Mother. May you gain strength during this time and in the days to come. I will certainly miss Barbara Dorsey. I am grateful for her welcoming me as an “outsider” when I first met her. Later, she was there for me during my late husband’s illness and after he passed. Her genuine concern and caring attitude will always be remembered. Barbarba is now resting and sharing all those “good stories she told me about with her siblings and other family members! She definitely “loved family”! Thanks, Barbara!!

Dear Allyson, 
I remember  when you worked at LGH & Penny Segro & I would meet you for dinner & your Mom came in to join us along with your precious little one, Alex. We always had a good time. We enjoyed the interaction we all had , she really was a terrific grandmother to your Alex .  I did see your Mom a couple of years ago , a couple of times , at the Giant Grocery Store, she spotted me & we started talking, it was like we picked up from where we left off. I love that when that happens & we were friends on FaceBook. She took some pretty nature pictures.  Prayers & Sympathy to you & your family  from Linda Swearingen [ Lila’s Mom  ] Blessings in the special memories , Cherish those times & as time goes on, more will come to mind .

It was a blessing to have Barbara as a member of Holy Trinity during the years I was one of the pastors there.  She was faithful, positive and very caring, always involved in our serving ministries.  She was an excellent mother for Allyson and a superb grandmother for Alex. She was very good steward of the gifts she was given, always using them to make others and the community better.  She was a blessing to her church, her family, her community.  She will be deeply  missed.   Pastor Dan Long

Aunt Barb as I called you in my adulthood, you were very much so matriarchal figure in my life. I know everytime you messaged me it was because you cared. And no matter how annoyed I was I always responded with love and respect. I may not have heeded your words but was always love and respect. If you could, give my grandfather Clarence and Nana Jean (Major) a hug for me. Love always, Michael Brown (Clarice’s Son).

I have Very  Fond memories  of Barbara. My Family moved to Lancaster, PA  from VA in 1955,  Barbara was the  the Very Person who befriended me. Our Friensdhip has lasted through High School – and many years after. I have since moved back to Virginia, but we stayed in touch – always chatting on our respective birthdays.  I Will miss her.  She was a true and dear friend. May she Rest in Peace. and May God 
Bring Peace and Comfort to Allyson, Marian and the Family.

I was shocked to read of Barb’s passing. She was always so joyful and spunky. I knew her way back when she was working in a law firm where I was a paralegal. My thoughts and prayers go out to her family. She will be missed!
