Dear Katherine and John, We are so sorry for your loss. Dot was a joy to know. She will be greatly missed. With deepest sympathy, Susan and Joe Layos

I want to share a memory of Dot. My Mother had just purchased a house in Front Royal Virginia and Dot came to visit us along with my Aunt Katherine and Uncle John. Dot acted as if she was in paradise sitting on the deck enjoying some nice red wine and something good to eat. I got the chance to draw her a picture as she lovingly told stories and laughed. We will all be blessed by your memory. Love, Anthony Gelwicks

Ms. Dot, my friend, I will forever cherish our many outings and many little talks. The love that you displayed to everyone will remain in our hearts for internal life. You are my inspiration to keep pushing through all things. Your strength could move a mountain and filled my heart with joy. I feel so very blessed to have been acquainted with such a wonderful person. I will hold onto to all the memories you left for a lifetime. I love you, Ms. Dot Carla E. Henderson

I am deeply saddened by her passing. As I will always carry Dot in my heart. I will cherish her memories, and all the kindness over the years she has brought to my family. She will remain in my heart along side my Mom and Aunt Ethel. May Katherine and John find peace and strength in her passing. Sue Ann Gelwicks delete

I was so so blessed to have Dottie has a colleague and a wonderful friend at BHS for many years. She had a great sense of humor and took life just as it came. Her daughter was her greatest treasure and her life as a teacher was, indeed, a source of joy for her--she was a most excellent educator and highly favored by students. Rest well, my friend.

Dear Friends, I live in Asheville, and attended high school at Boonsboro HS in the early 1970's. Although I never had any classes with Mrs. Davis, she was well loved by students, and my sister said your mom often stayed to help her with shorthand! Times have sure changed. What hasn't changed, though, is the importance of caring, competent and dedicated teachers. Your mom was all of that and more. I am holding you in loving light and prayers. I'm thankful for Mrs. Davis and the wonderful long life she lived. Mindy Barrons Allen

Our Deepest Condolences - Dot was a Wonderful person- I will miss seeing her at Bingo and other events-in town- I could always depend on her to say Hello and ask- "How's your Mom"-she truly was a caring person God Bless ! Eric Haberkorn and Family

I worked with Dot for many years at Boonsboro High School and we carpooled during the gas rationing and she even helped us find a house to rent in her neighborhood when we moved back to Hagerstown. Her New York stories were the highlight of hours in the faculty room. Rest in peace, Dot. Dee Shumaker

Katherine & John, We are so sorry to read about the passing of your mom. Know that you are in our thoughts and prayers. Hugs and love to both of you! Eric & Joanna Henson

Dot took me under her wing when my husband Jerome and I moved to Smithsburg. She helped me get my business education job at Boonsboro High School. She was a wonderful person

I had Ms. Davis for 3 years of Shorthand at Boonsboro High. She was one of my favorite teachers. I often thought of her with fond memories. She called us her "Cherubs" and we loved her. My sincere sympathy for your loss. -Lori Best Zimmerman, Class of 1986

My heart was broken when I heard the news of our beautiful and beloved Mom Mom Dot, leaving us and asending up into the heavenly kingdom of our Father. Dot was full of life, with a vivacious and loving personality that enveloped my Brett and Alexandra with a special cherished affection that will never be forgotten. As mother, I could see and feel the affection that was always bestowed on my children, starting with Dot's special hugs when she walked in the door. This love will always be held close in all of our memories and forever in all of our 💕 hearts..... My Love Always !! Kathy Cooker

Our wonderful Mom Mom Dot, who showered us with love, hugs and lots of toys, and educational gifts that both Alexandra and I always enjoyed. We will miss your warm smile and those special hugs that no one could give quite like our Mom Mom Dot....Your visits were always special and I loved always seeing you !! Brett

Dot was truly a kind soul, and I'm betting she's looking for Sinatra on Gods beautiful shore; singing NEW YORK NEW YORK. I can hear her now. Her antics, laughter, and stubbornness gave me great joy. I'm going to miss her forever.
