Obituaries
Dorothy Louise Waltz
Dorothy Louise (Fisher) Waltz died on Feb. 8, 2023 in Oxford,. She was 93.
She was born in 1929 in Washington, D.C. to Clarence, a patent attorney, and Alma Fisher, a homemaker. She attended Paul Junior High School in D.C., where she met a fellow flute player who would become the love of her life. Dot attended business college and was briefly married before marrying William R. Waltz in 1951. Bill’s work as an electrical engineer took them from their home in Maryland to southern New Jersey and then to Phoenixville, where they lived for 37 years.
Dot managed a busy household with seven children, several pets, and a large house, yard, and garden. Chores, allowances, lessons, schoolwork, and summer activities were organized and overseen with military precision. Prior to retirement in 1988, she excelled in her work as an office administrator and executive secretary at the Phoenixville Hospital, the American Baptist Convention, Montgomery County Intermediate Unit, and St. John’s Episcopal Church.
Dot was an active volunteer in the Phoenixville Hospice program and a long-time volunteer driver with the American Cancer Society. She was active in several United Methodist churches in the Phoenixville area, most recently in the Valley Forge United Methodist Church, where she served for many years as a trustee and mem- bership secretary. She frequently reached out to family, friends and neighbors with visits, cards, baked goods, and the occasional pointed letter to the editor on their behalf. She always looked out for the underdog.
Upon retirement, Bill and Dot enjoyed their family, friends, and activities at the Phoenixville Senior Center, several riverboat cruises, and the local dinner theatre. They moved to Ware Presbyterian Village in Oxford in 2003, where they enjoyed making new friends and attending holiday events in their finest festive attire. Upon her husband’s death in 2016, after almost 65 years together, Dot carried on with grace, resilience, and equanimity. She was an engaged citizen and a voracious reader.
Dot was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. She will be deeply missed by seven children, Robin L. Hess (Jay) of Indianapolis, Ind., Rev. William D. Waltz (Barbara) of Cinnaminson, N.J., Gail Glass Wagner (Robert) of Collegeville, Pa., Jonathan S. Waltz of Hampden, Maine, Kathryn J. Red (Douglas) of Prescott, Arizona, Eric M. Waltz (Lisa) of Red Oak, Texas, and Alison J. Bergman (Barry) of Great Falls, Va.; eighteen grandchildren; and 23 great-grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her older sister, Jean Skillman. Services will be private.
In lieu of flowers, please send donations to the Oxford Senior Center, 12 E. Locust St., Oxford, Pa. 19363. Arrangements are being handled by the Edward L. Collins, Jr. Funeral Home, Inc. in Oxford. Online condolences may be made at www.elcollinsfuneralhome.com.
