FRANKLIN, NC – Dorothy M. (Smith) Cash, 94, formerly of Lunenburg, MA. left us peacefully on Monday, October 24, 2022 surrounded by the love and support of her family.

She is predeceased by her husband Charles Cash, her son Ronald Koney; four brothers, Theodore J. Smith Korean War MIA 9/1/50, Robert, Clarence Jr. and Anthony Smith, and three sisters, Ida Deluca, Elizabeth Oja and Cynthia Adams. She was also predeceased by her two grandchildren John Koney, Jr. and Christine Crittenden.

She was the daughter of Clarence H. and Ida (Silva) Smith. She worked for many years at Page & Gleason in Lunenburg, MA and later at the Settle Shop in Townsend, MA. She also worked in the office at Citrus Park in Bonita Springs where she lived for many years, before her retirement.

Dottie loved traveling cross country with her husband and visited 49 states in the U.S. She was an avid crafter and love making things for her family and friends. She donated many warm hats to the homeless in NH and made many afghans for all new babies welcomed into the family. She also enjoyed teaching crafts to anyone who wanted to learn. She avidly combed the beaches of Florida and Cape Cod looking for shells and sea glass. She loved feeding and watching her birds and giving her favorite dogs bones! Dottie loved to feed everyone and never went to the doctors without a plate of cookies. She took them to the post office, gave them to the UPS drivers and mailman. She loved being known as the cookie lady!

The family would like to thank the wonderful people at Four Seasons Hospice who took so very good of her.

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to the Four Seasons Foundation at 571 South Allen Road, Flat Rock, NC 28731 or the Susan G. Komen Foundation, 13770 Noel Road, Suite 801889, Dallas, TX 75380.
