Dorothy E. Nauta, age 49 of Edgewater, passed on June 11, 2013. She had lived in Edgewater for the past thirteen years.
Dorothy had lived in Wayne since she was about four years old and graduated from Wayne Hills High School with the class of 1982. She graduated from St. Peters and Paul College in Fort Lee and began her nursing career.
“Dottie” as she was affectionately known to all of her friends, had most recently been working as a Registered Nurse for Home Solutions of Livingston. She began her career as an LPN at Paterson General Hospital and had also worked as a nurse with several northern New Jersey firms such as; Visiting Health Services, Coram, and Midatlantic Home Infusion. She was the consummate nurse; devoted to her patients and always concerned about the wellbeing of others above herself. She became dear friends with many of her patients, coworkers and, because of her very nature; she became close friends with almost everyone she met. Her ‘circle of friends’ was without boundaries and her heart grew larger with every new acquaintance. Many of her friends quickly stepped forward during her recent illness to help her every way that they could, and her mother is eternally grateful for all of their help. Even her dog Otis and cat Dizzy have been lovingly cared for.
Living in Edgewater, Dottie enjoyed the beautiful views of Manhattan from her window. However, she was truly an ‘outdoors’ girl who loved to go camping, hiking, and visiting our national parks. Just about ten years ago, Dottie took a very memorable trip across the country with her dad, niece and nephews. All of them agree that it was the most memorable trip ever but depending upon which one of them you talk to, those memories might be the kind that you wish you could forget! To this day, her family laughs out loud when reminiscing about that trip. She would also visit her cousins in California annually, timing her trip to coincide with the Dave Matthews concert – she loved Dave Matthews! She had recently been very excited planning her next adventure; an RV excursion to Colorado this summer.
Dottie received her spiritual nourishment at the Preakness Baptist Church in Wayne. A memorial service is planned there on June 25, 2013 at 3 PM. For those wishing to attend, the address is 1441 Ratzer Road, Wayne, NJ 07470, 973-956-0086.
Dottie is survived by her mother, Sarah Nauta of Fayetteville, West Virginia, her niece Emily and her nephews Ethan and Eric, her beloved Great Dane; Otis, and her cat; Dizzy as well as her beloved family of friends, too numerous to count. Dottie was predeceased by her father John Nauta in 2008, her sister Yvonne Parisen in 1999, her brother John J. Nauta in 1978, and her baby brother Christopher many years ago.
Donations in Dorothy’s memory, if friends so wish, would be greatly appreciated. Please consider; The Mid-Atlantic Great Dane Rescue League, Inc., PO Box 285, Hanover, MD 21076.
