Gloucester — Dorothy Addams Brown, or “Dotty” as she was fondly known, died gracefully in her home on Eastern Point in Gloucester, Mass., on March 20, 2014, the first day of spring. She departed this world with the support of her friends, neighbors, cousins and caregivers, knowing that the power of friendship is almighty and a source of infinite strength. Her giant smile, hearty laugh and generous spirit were truly contagious. Dotty was a role model of kindness, humility and stewardship. She was a highly esteemed financial officer at the Boston Safe Deposit and Trust Company for four decades. She passionately believed in the transformative power of education and her legacy will guarantee that many generations will be exposed to, and have access to the arts, local history, travel, and scholarship opportunities.
