OBITUARIES
S C H WA RT Z — D o r o t h y
“Dottie” Margaret Schwartz,
89, of Flo-
rence, joined
her Heavenly
Father
on
May 9, 2015.
Born to
Carl Vincent
Abbott and
Lillian Shan-
del (Polsky)
Dorothy
Abbott on
Schwartz
Sept.
5,
1925, in Akron, Ohio, Dottie
spent her childhood on their
family farm in Sharon Center,
Ohio.
During her career in
California, Dottie dedicated
many years to New York Life
as an administrative assistant.
She later retired from
Pepperdine University where
she was an event coordinator.
Her personal joys came from
sewing clothing and Halloween
costumes for her children,
entertaining family and friends,
stamp collecting, oil painting,
working in her garden and
playing card games. There
were endless hours of Pinochle,
with some Skip-Bo thrown in
for good measure.
She was a dedicated mother
who always found the time to
attend her childrens’ school
functions or any other activities
they were involved in.
She was a lifelong member
of the Lutheran Church, where
she actively participated and
volunteered in various areas of
the church.
She was preceded in death
by her parents; her husband of
nearly 50 years, Meryl E.
Hjorth, who passed away in
December 1999; and her later-
in-life husband, Ted C.
Schwartz, who passed away in
October 2013.
She is survived by her sister,
Betty Jane Coleman of North
Beach, Md.; her three children:
Paula Book of Florence, Cheri
Jordan (Jim), also of Florence,
and David Hjorth (Mary Ellen)
of Upland, Calif.; five grand-
children, 11 great-grandchil-
dren and one great-great-
grandchild.
Dottie’s family would like to
express its gratitude to Dr.
Khurram Naqvi, Florence
Hospice and Spruce Point staff
for the caring, attentive and
compassionate attention given
to their mother during her brief
illness. In many instances they
went well beyond the norm to
be extra supportive to family
members.
A celebration of life will be
held at Burns’s Riverside
Chapel Florence Funeral Home
on June 4, at 1 p.m., followed
by a reception at Tavolo
Restaurant at Sandpines Golf
Links.
Gravesite interment will be
private.
Donations in her name can
be made to Peace Harbor
Home Health and Hospice, 400
Ninth St. in Florence.

Friends of Library seeking volunteers
Those living in or near
Florence have a popular public
library that meets the many
needs of its diverse population.
The Friends of the Siuslaw
Public Library (FOL) is seek-
ing help in meeting its goal of
supporting the Siuslaw Public
Library.
To achieve those goals, vol-
unteers are needed in the fol-
lowing areas:
• Join the Friends of the
Library. There is a great need
for volunteers to work on the
Friends’ many projects, such as
book sorting, book sales activi-
ties, greeting card creation,
membership recruiting and
data management, newsletter
creation, publicity generation,
website maintenance and other
special projects, such as last
year’s Literary Basket project.
Public meeting today on
Hwy 101 pedestrian safety
Providing safe pedestrian
crossing of Highway 101
in Honeyman State Park
will be among the topics
discussed at a public meeting
May 27, from 5:30 to
7:30 p.m., in the Bromley
Room at the Siuslaw Public
Library.
Highway 101 bisects the
park, with trails on both sides
of the highway and a pedes-
trian overpass connecting
them.
Oregon
Parks
and
Recreation
Department
recently reviewed the status
of an unofficial trail that
hikers and runners use to
cross the highway at
grade.
Officials are expanding
their review to cover
the entire trail system and
how best to connect the two
sides of the park, taking into
consideration the pedestrian
overpass that opened in
2005.
The meeting will be an
opportunity for trail users to
share ideas on safely cross-
ing the highway, best routes,
trailheads,
destinations
and recreation needs.
Comments will be used to
update and refine the prelim-
inary concepts laid out for
the trail system in the 2009
master plan.
