Dorothy Ellen Spotts DePascale died on October 23, 2026, in Shrewsbury, New Jersey.
Dorothy, lovingly called Dottie by friends and family, was born the only child and a natural red head to Harvey and Anna Hayes Spotts in Lancaster, Pennsylvania on June 25, 1935.
She married her late husband, Edward G. De Pascale (Eddie) on June 30, 1956. In 1961, they moved together to take positions with Bell Telephone Laboratories, Inc. in Murray Hill, New Jersey which operated as the research and development arm of the American Telephone and Telegraph Company (AT&T) and Western Electric and the epicenter of global innovation and technology. After an outstanding and dedicated career, Dottie retired in 1988 from AT&T Bell Labs, now known as Nokia Bell Labs.
Dottie lived in Summit and Warren, New Jersey for over 43 years before moving to the Thornbrooke community in Shrewsbury, New Jersey. She was an active member of the Shrewsbury Senior Homesteaders. She enjoyed bird watching and reading. In her later years, she so enjoyed participating in the many activities sponsored by Brandywine the Sycamore Assisted Living in Shrewsbury.
To honor the wishes of Dottie, there will not be a memorial service at the present time. Thompson Memorial Home of Red Bank, NJ has been entrusted with the arrangements.
