Dorothea “Dottie” Jane Ebert Orwig died peacefully at the Gilchrist Hospice Care Center on August 7, 2020 in Towson, MD just 3 weeks shy of her 87th birthday.

She married high school sweetheart George E. Orwig II in 1956, and soon started raising their family in Loyalsock Twp.

Dottie is survived by: her children – Sandy S. of Abington, PA; Jeffrey C. of Paris, ME; twins Denise L. of Baltimore, MD and David A. (and his wife Sandra Vannote) of Gardner, MA; her grandchildren, Taylor, Nathan and Hannah Orwig, also of Gardner, MA, and great-grandson Braxton Orwig.
