CAMDEN — Dorothy E. Lassonde Morong, 91, died peacefully Dec. 10, 2015, surrounded by her family at the Sussman House in Rockport. Born in Concord, N.H., on Sept. 1, 1924, she was the daughter of Harold J. and Marie P. (Lamotte) Lassonde.

On Oct. 7, 1946, she married Charles E. Morong at Holy Cross Church in South Portland, where they lived until moving to Camden in 1948. Dottie and Charlie were married for 64 years at the time of Charlie's death in 2010.

Dottie was a communicant of Our Lady of Good Hope Church, where she was a long-time member of the women's club. In earlier years, she was a member of the Rockland District of the Maine Diocesan Council of Catholic Women; serving as legislative chairperson for several years. During the same time period, she was also a member of the Camden Junior Women's Club.

She was a wonderful and devoted wife, mother, grandmother, sister and friend, and was happiest spending time with those she loved.

In addition to her parents and her husband, Dottie was predeceased by a daughter, Sharon L. Roberts; her son-in-law, James Roberts; and her brother, Harold J. Lassonde II.
