Carol Ann (Delahanty) Dorsey's Obituary
Carol Ann (Delahanty) Dorsey died January 7, 2025.
Carol was born October 16, 1944 in Yonkers, NY, the daughter of James F. Delahanty Sr. and Anna Mae Reilly.
She graduated from Sacred Heart High School in Yonkers, NY and from The College of Mount Saint Vincent in Riverdale, NY.
Carol loved being an Army wife and looked forward to moving every few years, which she did 17 times. She enjoyed cooking and hosting dinner parties. She worked for Consumer Credit Counseling Service for 20 years as branch director, and found the work very rewarding. Retirement led to a move to DuPont, WA where she enjoyed time with her family, joining the Tacoma Yacht Club and having a boat. Carol and John continued to travel around the world. They enjoyed being on the waters of the Pacific Northwest, including taking their sailboat to Alaska, and spending three years completing the American Great Loop.
She is survived by her husband John and three sons: John and his wife Julie and their son Jack of Buckley, WA; Chris and his wife Eve and their daughters Sophia and Georgia of Fox Island, WA; and Brian and his wife Niki and their son Connor of Orting, WA. Her parents and her brother, James F. Delahanty Jr., preceded her in death.
A visitation will be held on 1/14 at 4-7pm at the Mountain View Memorial Park in Lakewood, WA. Funeral services will be celebrated at the Mountain View Memorial Park's Aspen Chapel on 1/15 at 10am, followed by a later burial in Peekskill, NY.
