WILBRAHAM - Dorothy L. (Miller) Gore, 91, a longtime resident of Wilbraham, was Called Safely Home on Thursday, November 16, 2023 surrounded by the care and comfort of her loving family. She was born in Waukegan, Illinois on Saturday, January 23, 1932, a beloved daughter of the late James E. Miller and Alice R. (Westerhouse) Miller Freeman. She was raised in Waukegan, Illinois and later lived in Springfield, Monson, Palmer and Three Rivers before moving to Wilbraham in 2003.

She had an infectious smile and a great sense of humor. She loved to laugh and make others laugh as well. Dottie was always the first to lend a helping hand and would do anything to make someone’s day. She had great wit, was always making jokes, and was quick to "come back" with a good answer. During her leisure time, Dorothy loved to take long walks and enjoyed being in nature. She was a member of Grace Union Church in Wilbraham where she was an active volunteer and a member of the Women's Christian Club. She was predeceased by her husband, William E.
