Dorothy M. Spalding, age 99 of Calvary, KY, passed away peacefully on October 03, 2018 at the Village of Lebanon.
Dorothy was born to Robert S. and Mary Catherine Spalding on April 16, 1919 at her home in Calvary, Kentucky where she lived until her death.
Dorothy was a devoted daughter, sister, and aunt who lived every day to its fullest. Upon the passing of her parents, Dorothy lived every day of her life to nurture and care for her brothers, nieces, and nephews.
Among her passions in life were cooking and antiques. Dorothy owned and operated Calvary Hill Antiques for over 40 years. She was a life-long member of Holy Name of Mary Catholic Church. Dorothy was employed by the Marion County Courthouse for years and retired from there in 1985 in order to spend more time caring for her family.
Dorothy was preceded in death by her parents and eight other siblings.
She is survived by three brothers, Bernard Spalding of Calvary, Mike Spalding of Calvary, and George D. Spalding, Sr. of Louisville; forty-three nieces and nephews who considered her the Grandmother that most of them never had the opportunity to know. She will always remain in each and every one of their hearts.
