Kuplinksi, August John Farley, Theo Oliver Farley, Benjamin Thomas Farley, and Liam James Farley to whom she was affectionately known as DeeDee. Dotti lived a full, loving, and active life surrounded by family and an ever-expanding circle of friends from childhood to the present. An only child, Dotti hailed from Elkins Park where she was raised in a loving household, marked by the times. Her father, Frank, was a British Officer in the Merchant Marine -causing him to be away at sea for much of her childhood. Her mother, Josephine, a schoolteacher, raised Dotti to cultivate optimism in the face of hardship, fellowship, and fun. Dotti excelled. As part of her childhood activities, she treasured spending all of her summers at Camp Oneka in the Pocono Mountains where she fostered lifelong friendships. Her McGlinn cousins, aunts, and uncles in Reading, Pennsylvania became her special home away from home, stateside. After the War, Dotti crossed the Atlantic several times on an ocean liner with her parents to visit her English relatives, further cultivating her love of discovering new places with family and friends. She graduated from Melrose Academy in 1956, Immaculata College in 1960 with a bachelor's degree in Home Economics. She married John Albert Farley in 1962, in Philadelphia where they raised their family. Jack preceded her death in 1986. Throughout her experiences, her trials and joys, Dotti cultivated a deep and abiding faith. In addition to her faithful devotions as an individual and in community, she participated in life changing pilgrimages to Jerusalem and to Medjugorje. Dotti was an active member of Saint Anthony's Church in Ambler, PA where she participated in parish activities, prayed the rosary, and attended daily mass. Her spiritual friends will remember her as a true devotee to the Blessed Virgin Mary and follower of Christ. She was a passionate chef and thoroughly enjoyed entertaining friends and family, especially during holidays - even though she traditionally met with frenzy immediately before her guests would arrive for each event. She delighted in making the littlest things special: the sauces, the cake toppings, the table settings, the flowers. She celebrated life in the details. After her children were older, she began a successful career with Mrs. Paul's Kitchens and Campbell's Soup Corp. in Research and Development - where she continued to serve as a consultant until her illness this spring. She had a tremendous work ethic in all things and would problem solve her way out of any trial. In addition to cooking, she enjoyed and excelled in heirloom sewing and gardening. She has created a legacy of children's dresses, each a work of art. Born with the Irish gift of gab, Dotti was a truly social being and leaves behind an army of friends with treasured memories. As an adorer of all animals, but especially kitty-cats, she is now greatly missed by her spoiled and devoted Pumpkin. Dorothy Egan Farley did not win the Nobel Peace Prize, she did not find a cure for cancer, nor did she bring world peace. But she was, above all else, a mother. She inspired lives to improve, show compassion, learn about the world, and change it for the better as she had done. Her nurturing influence will ripple through time forever. Dotti Farley was a kind, gentle, generous, warm and gracious lady throughout all of her days. She knew how to have a good time and surrounded herself with trusted friends who kept her laughing through life. She dressed well, ate well, traveled well, decorated well, and was greatly comforted by knowledge of how blessed her life had been. In her last days she knew no fear or worry - only gratitude and faith. Please, help all of us set her table by sharing cherished memories that reveal how especially Dotti touched us all...
