Obituary of Dorothy L. Davidson

Dorothy Rowe Davidson, 96, passed away peacefully after a long life and declining health on August 16, 2015, at Baptist Nursing Home. Born on November 22, 1918, in Schenectady, Dorothy was the only child of Miriam and George Rowe. She graduated from Mont Pleasant High School and Albany Business School and retired from the General Electric Motor Department after 28 years of service. Strong faith played an important role in Dorothy's life as a member of Mont Pleasant Reformed Church for over 60 years before it closed, serving as Sunday School Superintendent and Financial Secretary. She was a current member of First Reformed Church of Schenectady. In a long and active retirement, Dorothy enjoyed travel with the GE Women's Club to China, Alaska, Europe, and U.S. National Parks. She volunteered for the Schenectady Museum and Zoller School Library, and developed an artistic side with Chinese brush painting. She is survived by sons, George (Nancy) and Donald (Jeanette); granddaughters, Allison (Daniel) McCaleb and Nora (David) Adamek; great-grandchildren, Matthew and Aleah McCaleb and Gregory and Theodore Adamek. The family will receive friends at First Reformed Church Assembly Hall (North Church Street entrance) on Saturday, September 5, at 10:00 AM., followed by a memorial service in Poling Chapel at 11:00 AM. Memorial contributions may be made to Home Furnishings Program, Inc., 603 State Street, Schenectady, NY 12305.
