CAMDEN — Dorothy H. ‘Dottie’ Marchant, 92, passed peacefully Sunday, July 3, 2022 after a period of declining health at the Sussman House in Rockport.

Born in Old Town, March 24, 1930, she was one of 10 children born to Emile and Rose Duplise Ouellette.

Dottie happily made her home in the Rockland and Camden area after graduating from John Bapst High School in Bangor. She married Frederick “Fred” Marchant in Rockland October 30, 1954. She built a career as an International Sales Representative, working for Sylvania, G.T.E and later Verizon.

In their younger years Dot and Fred enjoyed boating with their friends, often staying overnight on their boat in Penobscot Bay. Dorothy enjoyed going to bingo, playing cards and making trips to Foxwoods. After retiring,
she and Fred spent winters in Lakeland, Florida. Dorothy was a happy person who lit up the room when she walked in. She loved to be around others and they loved to be around her, always feeling welcome.
