Dorothy Domowitz

Dorothy Domowitz died on January 29, 2020, in Frederick, Maryland, aged 95.
She was born in Twin Falls, Idaho, in 1924, and lived through the Great Depression and World War II.  While she was a student at the University of Idaho, she met Julius Domowitz, a U.S. Army soldier who was in a specialized language training program at the University of Idaho.  When he was deployed to the South Pacific, they wrote to each other for two years.  Dorothy graduated from the University of Idaho in 1946, and when Julie returned from the war in 1946, they were married.  She lived for a time in California and in Michigan, and eventually returned to Idaho, the place she loved most.  In 2015 she moved to Maryland to be near her children.
Dorothy was a loving wife and mother, a talented cook, and an artist with needlework - quilting, knitting and sewing.  She loved being on the farm, and raising her small flock of sheep. Her cinnamon rolls were legendary.  Loved and missed by her children Susan Domowitz (David McAllister), Janet Domowitz, Fred Domowitz (Candis Domowitz), six grandchildren, and three great-grandchildren.  She was pre-deceased by her beloved husband Julius H. Domowitz, parents William A. Van Engelen and Margaret R. Van Engelen, three sisters and two brothers, and son-in-law Loren Kelly.
The family will hold a private service.
