<h4>May 3, 1943 – Sept. 9,2021</h4>
Dorothy (Dotty) Jeanne Love was born in Baltimore, Md., May 3, 1943, and passed peacefully on Sept. 9, 2021, in Sun City Center, Fla. She battled Pancreatic Cancer for 23 months. She is survived by her husband, William Earle Love (Bill), of 54 years; two sons, Christopher William Love and his wife, Lori Anne Demshar, of Goodyear, Arizona, and Michael Howard Love, and his wife, Jennifer Lynn (nee Mooi), and their two children, Jacob Michael and Hailey Elyce Love, of Lockport, Illinois; her brother, Henry Ellsworth Carmine Jr., his wife Dona and his daughters, Allison Ann McDonald (Kelly) and Heather Lynn Carmine and her partner Sean; and a first cousin, Joan Shirley Moore, of San Francisco.
Dotty was pre-deceased by her parents, Henry Ellsworth Carmine and Dorothy Golden Carmine (nee Butz); three loving aunts, Melba Butz, Lillian Garrett, Vera Moore; and a first cousin, Vernon K. Garrett.
Also known as DJ by her family, she attended the schools of Baltimore County, Md., graduating from Catonsville Senior High School in 1961. She continued her education at the University of Maryland in College Park, Md., receiving her Bachelor of Science degree in home economics education in 1965. Her first teaching experience was at Mt. Hebron Junior High School in Howard County, Md. In September 1978 Dotty accepted a home economics teaching position at Westview Hills Middle School, Clarendon Hills, Ill. In 1993 she was awarded her Masters Degree in education from National-Lewis University. She really loved teaching teenagers, including her own two sons. She got a lot of joy out of watching them mature. She stayed in touch with some students even after they graduated and had families of their own. She retired from Westview Hills Middle School in 2005.
Immediately after retiring, she and Bill moved to Sun City Center, Fla. There she got involved in several social and civic groups and enjoyed the friendship and camaraderie of their new neighbors. She organized and was hostess for social activities for large groups. She was an excellent cook and enjoyed entertaining family and friends at home. She loved to travel and accompanied Bill when he was stationed in Turkey and Germany. They also enjoyed traveling to South America, Europe, Africa, the Middle East, Australia and Asia.
Dotty was a member of Colonel George Mercer Brooks Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution and the General Society of the Mayflower Descendants. She was very active in the South Bay Genealogical Society, where she served as a member of the board of directors for several years.
In lieu of flowers or gifts, the family suggests memorial donations to the Research Center, H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center, 12902 USF Magnolia Drive, Tampa, FL 33612.
Dotty was a cheerful and loving wife, mother, grandmother, teacher and friend who will be sadly missed by all she touched.
