Obituary:

She was born July 2, 1956 in Jersey City, New Jersey to the late Thomas K. Flynn and Dorothy Keller Flynn of Jackson New Jersey.

Dottie was a 1974 graduate of Toms River North where she also pursued a vocational school as a dental assistant. Dottie met her future husband, Tom in 1979 and were married in 1980. Their daughter Jennifer was born in 1981.

Dottie served the Virginia Beach City Public School system for thirty years as a Physical Education Assistant. Most of her service was at Glenwood Elementary, an amazing, kind-hearted, extremely hard working and dependable teacher assistant who was loved by all the children and staff.

Dottie had a great love for the outdoors, whether it was the beaches of the Outer Banks, the Blue Ridge Mountains, Norfolk Botanical Gardens or her own back yard. She developed a deep passion for outdoor photography where her favorites were tropical flowers, hummingbirds, bald eagles, butterflies and whatever showed up in the back yard on any given day.

Dottie is survived by her loving husband Tom of 40 years, daughter Jennifer Myers and partner Amy Akerman of Chesapeake Virginia, brother Thomas Flynn and his wife Liz of Rotunda FL, nephew Ryan Flynn of Pensacola, FL and cousins Richard Reilly, Laura Reilly and Karen Coppolella.

A service will not be planned.
