It is with both sorrow and gratitude that we announce the passing of Dorothy L. Martin, affectionately known as "Dot", cherished mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and beloved friend, at the age of 94.

Her faith was not simply a part of her life—it was woven into every moment. She was known for her unwavering commitment to prayer, always carefully writing on her prayer list the names of friends, family, and anyone in need of grace. Each name was more than a note; it was a promise—one she fulfilled daily, lifting every intention with love and quiet perseverance. Throughout her long life, Dot was a pillar of joyful love and compassion to all who knew her. She was the devoted wife of the late Thomas J. Martin and a loving mother to the late Thomas P.

Her words, "I asked God for the best, and He gave it to me," echoed as both a blessing and a testament to the deep love she held for her family and the contentment she found in God's providence. Dot was preceded in death by her parents, Ambrose and Ethel (Johnston) Dunleavy, and her siblings, Dolores Martin, Eileen Doyle, and John Dunleavy. She is lovingly remembered by many nieces, nephews, and friends who found comfort and strength in her affection and encouragement. Her legacy of faith and love lives on in all who were fortunate enough to know her.
