Dorothy M. Blough, 88, of Lancaster, went home to be with her Lord and Savior, at Lancaster Nursing and Rehab, Saturday, September 17, 2022. Born in Elizabethtown, she was the daughter of the late Edward and Grace (Hockenerry) Gutshall. Dorothy was the loving and faithful wife of Paul F. Blough, with whom she celebrated nearly 70 years of marriage.

Dorothy worked as a folder and turner in a sewing factory for many years, but most important to her was the love and care she provided to her family.

Dorothy had a strong faith and was a member of Faith Tabernacle for over 50 years. She loved listening to Gospel music and was inspired by watching Jimmy Swaggart’s ministry on television. She was a fantastic cook and baker, and loved to solve word puzzles.

In addition to her husband, Paul, she is survived by her daughter, Joyce Weaver, of Lancaster; 4 grandchildren: Maria, Rachel, Jessica, and Sion; 3 great-grandchildren: Ronnie, Aaliyah, and Nevaeh; and a sister, Jane Bixler, of Elizabethtown. She was preceded in death by 6 siblings.
