Dorothy B. Schuler, age 101, of Rome, peacefully passed away and went home to be with the Lord on Saturday, February 1, 2020 with her loving family by her side.
Dorothy was born on November 1, 1918 in Unadilla Forks, a daughter to the late Charles A. and Sarah Davis Jones. Throughout her childhood, she was educated in the Brookfield School District. As a young woman, she partnered with a friend to open their own ice cream shop. Through this venture, she met her husband and was united in marriage to the late David H. Brown (1904-1954) in 1939. To support her growing family, she put herself through St. Elizabeth’s Hospital School of Nursing and began working at the former Broadacres Hospital as a Licensed Practical Nurse. This is where she met and married the late Stewart J. Schuler (1905-1975) in 1966. Dorothy and Stewart presided in Rome, where she later became a housemaker.
Dorothy “Nana” was the matriarch of her family, her endless love and spirit will live on indefinitely through the generations that follow.
Dorothy is survived by her son in law, Paul E. Louis Jr.; grandchildren; Dawn (Rob) Morris, George Brown, David (Melissa) Louis, and Paul E. Louis III and partner, Tia Nicastro; great grandchildren, Marissa (Joseph) Hazeltine, Dustin Aiello, Brandon and Kelsea Morris, Dallas Brown, and Briana, Taylor, Gabby, and Kaleb Louis; great, great grandchildren; Mila Dionne and Jolie Dorothy Hazeltine; stepdaughters, Lois Hurley, and Linda (Bob) Smith; a sister in law, Jean Schuler; many nieces and nephews; very dear friends, Bonnie Holmes, and Barb Dayhuff; and Ernie Lang, who was like a son to Dorothy. She was predeceased by her son, George Brown; her daughter, Dionne “Dee” Louis; a stepson, Stewart “Bud” Schuler; siblings, Lee and Paul Jones, and Agnes Spooner; and several nieces and nephews.
