She grew up in Woodridge, NY and graduated from Fallsburg Central High School in 1950. She was married to the love of her life, John DeForest Wilson, from 1950 until his death in 2018.

Left also, with special memories of Aunt Dotty's kindness and wonderful cooking, are her numerous nieces and nephews. The family wishes to express its gratitude to, and our mother's love for, her devoted caregiver, Dilma. She was predeceased by her husband of 68 years, John DeForest Wilson, seven brothers: Paul Schwartz, Harry Mednick, Phillip Mednick, Al Mednick, Sol Mednick, Meyer Mednick and Hy Mednick; and a sister, Toby Schneider. She was also predeceased by many dear brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law who were loved as deeply by her as if they were her own brothers and sisters. A private family memorial will be held on Saturday, November 28, 2020 to be followed by burial at Sullivan County Veterans Cemetery, Liberty, NY at 12:30 pm.
