Dorothy Linville

Linville, Dorothy M., 95, of Miamisburg, passed away at Hospice of Dayton on May 26, 2015. She was born in Dayton, OH to the late Bronson and Edna Moore. Dorothy was very generous to anyone in need and loved having people come to her home. She enjoyed teaching Sunday school at Ferry Church of Christ (now Crossview Christian), and Miamisburg Christian Church where she was a charter member, and was actively involved at Butler Springs Christian Assembly for many years. She was a cook at Miamisburg City Schools for 30 years, volunteered at Sycamore Hospital for 22 years, and was a member of the Good Sam Camping Club. Dorothy loved people and had a smile that would light up an entire room; she also loved the outdoors, camping, flowers, birds, playing dominos with her dear friends, and the Cincinnati Reds. In addition to her parents, Dorothy was preceded in death by her husband Albert Edward Linville, brothers Bronson Moore, Jr., Hugh Moore, and John Moore. She is survived by two children Dorothy (Dottie) Linville, and Susan (David) Black; two grandchildren Ryan Black and Natalie (Jason) Lee, two great grandchildren Jonathan Lee and Nathan Lee, and numerous nieces and nephews.

We lived across the street from the Linvilles for years, and they were absolutely wonderful neighbors. So very sorry to hear about Dorothy's passing. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this time.

Very sorry to hear about Aunt Dorothy, but I remember so many smiles and joy she brought with her where ever she went.One Christmas, her gift to me was two books from the Little House Series, by Laura Ingalls Wilder.She started me on the path of loving those books, and I still have them, and have read them, many times!Love to the whole family!!

As I grew up, Dorothy was like my second mom.I think I spent as much time at her home as I did at my own.She has given me so many wonderful things over the years that I cherish and for which I will be eternally grateful -- her love, her kindness, her radiant smile, her abundant patience, her unyielding faith, and. . . bless her heart, about a million glasses of cold, grape Kool Aid. But the one gift that she gave for which I will always be the most thankful is her daughter Susan, my best friend for life. Because she gave her love and kindness so freely, such a wonderful woman will certainly be missed by so very many people. She was such an inspiration, and I'm so thankful to be counted among those that were blessed to have her in our lives.It is my hope and prayer that her family is consoled by the many beautiful memories of the life she shared with them.

It has been such an honor to have known your Mother.Throughout her time in Hospice we wittnessed a very strong and a God loving family that was by her side 24/7.The family prayed for her, sang to her and listened to music with her.Yet when a guest came to visit you had a smile for all of us. We know she is where she wants to be and that alone will give you peace. May God be with all of you now and always. Loving friends, Bob and Pam
