Terry Jordan posted this. This message is for those of you who went to Orange High School prior to 1987. I am deeply saddenied to tell you that Dorothy McIntyre passed away this morning at 3:20 AM. She would’ve been 97 years old on July 13. She was as “feisty” as ever when I saw her two weeks ago, but this past Saturday she went into a coma. I saw her yesterday afternoon for the last time. I met Dorothy at a social studies conference in Lexington, Ohio in December 1972. She encouraged me to apply to Orange High School located in Pepper Pike, Ohio where she was the Social Studies Department Head — and the rest is history! She retired from Orange in 1987, and then served on the Orange School Board. If it wasn’t for her, I never would’ve had my wonderful career at Orange, never would’ve met my wife and never would’ve had my children! She was a colleague, mentor and friend. Her loss is devastating, and there will forever be a void in my life 😢😔.
