September 25, 2022

On Sunday, September 25, 2022, our Lord called home Dorothy E. “Dot” Caldwell, 92. Dorothy was reunited with her parents, the late Violet and George Gerz in the comfort of her home and surrounded by the love of her husband and children.

Dorothy graduated from Lancaster Catholic High School in 1949 and worked at RCA and the Host Resort. She was married for 68 years to William A. Caldwell.

In addition to her husband, she is survived by five children, Linda High, Lois Caldwell and Michael Caldwell, Lancaster, Joyce Eaves wife of Daniel Eaves of Pinellas Park, Florida, and Jane Stover wife of Eric Stover, also of Lancaster. Her joy was seen in the love she gave and received from her children and grandchildren, Angela Williams, Dwayne High, Janelle McCoy, Tiffany Fletcher, Anthony Mastromatteo, Tawny Caldwell, Andrew Stover, William M. Caldwell, Katelyn Eckert, and Lauren Stover. She had fourteen great grandchildren and one expected in February.

Dorothy was preceded in death by her sister, Kathyrn Heiland, and brothers, William Gerz, Richard Gerz and George Gerz; and her grandson William M. Caldwell.

The family would like to extend their heartfelt appreciation for the exceptional care and support provided by Kindred Hospice, especially her nurse, Candice and Reverend Scott.
