Niantic – Dorothy (Dottie) S. Williams, 81, passed away peacefully at home after a courageous three year battle with pancreatic cancer. Dorothy, born November 19, 1938, in Cumberland, R.I., was the daughter of the late Thomas J. Sullivan and Violet (Roy) Sullivan-Milone. She was raised in Providence R.I., married and raised her family in New London and Waterford.
Dorothy was an avid Grandma who adored her grandchildren and was mutually adored in return. Ever a fan of her Grandchildren, she was always on the sidelines at their events, whooping louder than anyone else. And she loved listening to violin practice from Colorado over the phone. She loved the ocean and would go scalloping, clamming and lobstering with friends.
Dorothy is survived by her children, Elizabeth Murphy of Norwich, CT., Catherine WIlliams of Stevenson Ranch, CA., Roger Williams and wife Tanja of Golden CO., and Micheal Williams of Winsted, CT.; grandchildren James, Michael, Jane, Emma, Sonya & Tarik, and great-grandchildren, Sabrina, Branson and Caleb; sister Delores McSweeney of Cranston RI, brother Thomas J Sullivan and wife Queenie of Cumming GA., and several nieces, nephews and greats, to whom she will always be known as “Auntie Dottie”. She is also survived by her best friend of over fifty years Gloria Johnson of Gales Ferry, CT.
The family would like to extend sincerest thanks to all of her wonderful neighbors, especially Stacy Poulos, Gerry and Rena Powers (and sons) and Marco and Barbara Costas, her hospice nurse, Wesley Guerra and the Smilow Cancer Center in Waterford.
