Dorothy Wittrup

Dorothy (Topalian) Wittrup, 91, passed away on Sunday evening, August 11, at her home surrounded by family.

Born and educated in Brooklyn, NY, Dorothy lived in Maryland and worked for the United States Government in Aberdeen, MD for over ten years. A beloved wife, mother and grandmother, Dorothy was a member of the Armenian American Society.

Predeceased in 2012 by her beloved husband of 57 years, James H. Wittrup, and her sister, Helen Cutler, Dorothy is survived by her daughters, Elizabeth A. Hesler (Donald) of Guilderland and Donna L. Messersmith (Stephen) of Florida, and her 3 grandchildren, Christine, Matthew, and Emily, and her nephew, Brian Cutler of Connecticut.

Dorothy was an avid fan of all things Disney and enjoyed multiple trips to Walt Disney World with her husband, children and grandchildren. Dorothy was blessed with a beautiful, operatic voice and enjoyed singing for those around her as much as we enjoyed listening.

Interment with her husband will take place in Gerald B.H. Solomon Saratoga National Cemetery at a later date.
