Dorothy E. Cannell

Dorothy E. Cannell, 93, passed from this life on Monday, December 19, 2022. She was the loving daughter of the late Raymond M. and Henrietta S. (Manwiller) Davidheiser.

Surviving are three children and their spouses, seven grandchildren; twelve great grandchildren; and, two great great grandchildren. Dorothy was preceded in death by two siblings and one granddaughter.

A stay-at-home mom, Dorothy was devoted to her children.  From baseball games and dance recitals to helping with homework, she was always there for her children. Dorothy was active in her church as a Sunday and Bible school teacher as well as a Youth Fellowship adult leader.  She was active in the Jaycees and the PTA.  When she returned to the workforce, Dorothy worked for the American Red Cross for many years.

Dorothy loved sunglasses, jewelry and salt water taffy.  She enjoyed playing bingo with her friends and was always up for a game of trivia or Pictionary.  But most of all, Dorothy will be remembered as one who loved her family even more than they loved her, and they loved her to the moon and back.  That is the legacy she leaves behind.

A memorial service and interment will be held in the spring at the convenience of her family. If desired, memorial contributions may be made in her memory to: The Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research at https://www.michaeljfox.org/ and/or to the American Red Cross at https://www.redcross.org/ .
