Suydam, and his fiancé Deanna Bowers of Strasburg, PA, and Shawn Suydam of Ballston Spa, NY, as well as her grandchildren, Amber Suydam, Noen Suydam and Brycen Suydam, and her brother David Rynier, and his wife Mary of Bird-in-Hand, PA. In addition to her parents, Dotty was preceded in death by her sister Margaret Louise Spoo, her brother John Earl Rynier, and her sister Barbara Jean Oliveras.

Following Dotty’s wishes there will be no formal services.
