Dorothy Lee Terrill

Dorothy Lee Terrill, beloved mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, family matriarch, and friend, passed away peacefully surrounded by the love of her family on June 13, 2026. She leaves behind a legacy of strength, kindness, resilience, and unwavering devotion to those she loved.

In her earlier years, Dorothy was the owner of several successful local businesses, including Happy Harbor, Mama D’s, and Bay Country Flowers, all located in Deale, Maryland. Through her work and her generous spirit, she became a well-known and cherished member of the community. Later in life Dorothy worked as a cashier at Rod-N-Reel for many years.

Dorothy had a deep love for her family, friends, and anyone in need. She enjoyed playing bingo, searching for treasures in thrift and secondhand stores, and could often be seen riding her scooter throughout Prince Frederick. She also had a passion for travel and enjoyed exploring destinations across the United States.

Known for her generous heart and determined spirit, Dorothy faced life’s hardships with grace and courage. She taught those around her the value of hard work, compassion, and standing by the people you love. Her wisdom, humor, and loving presence will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege of knowing her.

Dorothy is survived by her children Donna Klein of Chesapeake Beach, Thomas Dobson and his wife Sharon of Owings, and Shawn Terrill of Huntingtown, grandchildren Dana Cress and her husband Ricky, Jackie Klein, Jenna Dobson, and Zack Dobson, great-grandchildren Brandon, Austin, Haley, Natalie, Makenzi, Aliyah, and Terrence, extended family members, and many dear friends who will forever cherish the memories they shared with her. She was preceded in death by loved ones who now welcome her home.

Though our hearts are broken by her passing, we find comfort in knowing that her love and influence will continue to live on through the lives she touched. Her memory will remain a guiding light to her family and a reminder of the strength and love she shared so freely.

Family and friends are invited to gather and honor a woman whose love, kindness, and generosity left a lasting mark on everyone she met.

The family asks that those who knew and loved Dorothy honor her memory by sharing kindness with others, just as she did throughout her life.
