Dorothy Elizabeth Mills Harty departed this life on Sunday, February 1, 2009 at the age of 103 at home.
She was born October 31, 1905 in Philadelphia, PA, the only child of the late Ella and Luther Mills.
Dorothy came to New York City at a very early age, and here she received her formal education. She moved to Kinnelon, NJ and lived with her grandson and his family since 2002.
She accepted Jesus Christ as her personal savior at the age of nine and led an active christian life until death called her. She united with the Metropolitan Baptist Church, New York City in September of 1919. She sang in the Junior Choir of the church, served as secretary of the Adult Department of the Sunday School, later as secretary of the general Sunday School. She was a Sunday school teacher and president of a BTU group. She became a Deaconess of her church in 1982, then later as a Mother of the Church.
Dorothy married Belford D. Harty, May 15, 1926 and to this union one son was born, Belford D. Harty Jr. Dorothy was a very devoted wife, mother, grandmother and great grandmother.
Besides her church activities, she was very active in Community work. She served as a Den Mother in the Boy Scouts, was a member and officer in many civic and community groups for several years. Dorothy found time to be active in politics, serving in many capacities and at one time as vice president of her political club. She was a frequent blood donor to the American Red Cross and during World War II she served her country for 20 months as a Volunteer Defense worker.
She was employed by the New York State Department of Labor as a secretary and retired in 1972 after 25 years of service. After retiring she became very active in Senior Citizen Centers and received several awards for her volunteer work.
Left to cherish her memory are her daughter-in-law Mamie Harty, one grandson, Donald K. Harty, his wife Rosemary, three great-grandchildren Stone, Sofia and Sara Harty, a few relatives and friends.
We cannot help but grieve for her, whose love we’ve shared for many years, but love lingers on in memories and time does dry our tears, so try to find some comfort in knowing, though she is gone, her love for you lingers on.
