Dorothy R. (Herman) McCartney, 92, of Simsbury, beloved wife of Clarence Edward McCartney, died Monday, March 15, 2021, surrounded by family at St. Francis Hospital in Hartford. She was born October 12, 1928 in Hanover Green, PA, daughter of the late John and Stella (Tryba) Herman and had lived in Broomall, PA prior to moving to Simsbury CT in 1976. In addition to raising her family, Dot was a Nurse’s Aide. She enjoyed bingo, shopping, bowling, traveling, TV game shows, Rummikub and most of all spending time with family. After her children became self-sufficient, she continued her endeavors to enrich the lives of others including caring for both of her parents, extended family, friends and clients. She always had a positive view of life and always focused on the positive traits of the people who surrounded her. Nobody ever left her house hungry.
