Dorothy E. Mccaffrey

Dorothy E. McCaffrey, of Milton and formerly of West Yarmouth, died peacefully on Wednesday, November 20, 2019 at the John Adams Healthcare Center in Quincy. She was 98.

Born and raised in Quincy, she was the daughter of the late William and Emma (Amet) Cain. Dorothy graduated from the North Quincy High School in 1939. She adored her children and enjoyed golfing, bowling, ballroom dancing, especially the jitterbug. She grew up in Quincy and then moved to Milton, spent time down the Cape in West Yarmouth, and then moved back to Milton. Most people were surprised when they heard Dorothy’s age and always remarked how great she looked for 98. She was social, outgoing, and made friends with everyone she met. She will be greatly missed by all who knew her.

McCaffrey, Jr. and his wife Meg of Irvine, CA, Donald McCaffrey and his wife Kathleen McDonald of Milton, Susan McCaffrey of Cushing, ME, and the late Carol McCaffrey.

Loving step grandmother of Robert Cable and family of Fayetteville, NC and Eric Cable of Manchester, NH. Also survived by beloved nieces and nephews.
