Dorothy "Dottie" Newman
December 3, 1922 — May 26, 2015
Dottie Newman, a kind and loving wife, mother and grandmother died on May 26, 2015. Born in Ligonier, Indiana in 1922, "Dottie" was a graduate of Ligonier High School and the Moser Business College in Chicago.
Dottie worked in the jewelry business and was a department manager and oversaw many of the company's operations. In Indianapolis, she was a hostess for Welcome Wagon, welcoming new residents to Indianapolis. Her early business experience was instrumental in founding Guides and Gals, a touring company in Indianapolis. The company allowed her to use her creativity and business acumen. Guides and Gals served a niche in the Indianapolis hospitality industry.
In addition, she was an active volunteer in the Gary and Indianapolis communities where she was a board member and officer in the local chapters of the National Council of Jewish Women, Temple Israel and IHC Sisterhoods.
Dottie was affectionately called "St. Dot" as she was always there to support her husband with his career as the Executive Vice President of the Jewish Federation of Indianapolis. Her proud roots in In Indiana and her kind and sweet disposition served her well. She was a wonderful matriarch of her family and showered her children and grandchildren with love and support. She will be remembered for her clever Rummikub skills and her loving and caring personality.
A special thank you to her "friend" Sherry Mays who cared for her and loved her for several years.
Dottie was married to Frank (d 2011) for 65 years and is survived by her children, Robert (Jan) Newman of Hillsborough, CA, Terry (Richard) Bernstein of St. Louis and Nancy Reiter of Indianapolis. She is also survived by her grandchildren, Lauren, David and Julie Bernstein and Jessica Reiter (Brent) Gottlieb and Katie Reiter.
Funeral services will be held at Indianapolis Hebrew Congregation, 6501 North Meridian St, on Thursday, May 28th at 2 PM. Burial will follow in the Indianapolis Hebrew Congregation North Cemetery. In lieu of flowers contributions appreciated to Jewish Federation of Greater Indianapolis, or the charity of your choice.
Arrangements entrusted to Aaron Ruben Nelson Mortuary. Friends may leave a memory or message of condolence by visiting the online obituary at www.arnmortuary.com.
