Obituary: Dorothy E. “Dot” Herbert

Postwar graduate of HMHS, wife and mother active in borough affairs, dies.

Dorothy E. “Dot” Herbert (nee Mayer), longtime Haddonfield resident, passed away on July 19 at the age of 88.

Dot was the beloved wife of the late Robert A., devoted mother of Robert (Cathy) of New Hope, Pa., and Ronald (Robin) of Richmond, Va., loving grandmother of Ashton, Kelsey, Patrick, Ann Carter, Caitlin, Christopher and Matthew.

Dot was a 1949 graduate of Haddonfield Memorial High School. She married Robert in 1955, together raised their two sons in the borough, and was a long-time member of The First Presbyterian Church of Haddonfield. 

Dot worked as a nursery school teacher at Haddonfield United Methodist Nursery School and was very involved in the community. She spent much of her time volunteering at her church, was on the board of HMHS Alumni Association and was a member of the Order of the Eastern Star. 

The family would like to thank the staff at Brandywine Living of Haddonfield for the excellent care she received over the past few years.

Due to the COVID-19 situation, Dot’s funeral service and interment will be held privately. In lieu of flowers, donations in her memory may be made to The First Presbyterian Church of Haddonfield, 20 Kings Highway East, Haddonfield, N.J. 08033.
