Mary Elizabeth Augsburger Dotts passed away peacefully on May 9, 2025 in the presence of her loving family at her home in Madison, CT at the age of 89. She is survived by her four daughters, Gwendolyn Hughes (Joseph Meyers), Jennifer Jackson (Keith Hoffer), Margaret Thomas (James), and Rebecca McCudden (Michael), grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Predeceased by her beloved husband of 66 years, Raymond Richard Dotts, and her brother David C. Augsburger.
Mary, daughter of the late Chris D. and M. Estelle Cook Augsburger, was born August 14, 1935 in Gettysburg, PA. She graduated from Quakertown High School in 1953 and Houghton College in 1957. Mary lived for 50 years in Camden, DE and with family in Madison, CT for almost three years before passing away.
Mary worked various jobs over the course of her life. She was a fifth grade and elementary school teacher in the Quakertown School System. Mary also worked at JCPenney as an associate and department manager for 13 years, a federal program manager, and a coordinator of volunteer services.
Mary loved nothing more than her Lord and her family. She found great joy in serving as a church organist beginning at the age of 15 through the age of 86. She was an integral member, alongside her husband Raymond, of her church, Camden Bible Fellowship Church, for 45 years. She helped many find the Lord Jesus Christ as their Savior and was a dedicated and steadfast servant of the Lord her entire life.
Mary’s beloved husband of more than 66 years, Raymond, passed away almost exactly two years prior to Mary. Their family is comforted that she is reunited with him whom she loved so deeply.
Mary was a sweet, gentle, wonderful woman who loved with all of her heart. She walked through life showing everyone kindness and love. Her memory and love will be carried forever in the hearts and minds of her children, grandchildren, family, loved ones, and everyone who knew her. While she is greatly missed, Mary will always be remembered and loved and is now home in Heaven with the Lord Jesus Christ, her savior, and her husband Raymond.
Mary’s family would like to extend their deep gratitude to her devoted and loving caregiver Vanessa Sansculotte and to her friend and companion Cybil Juárez.
