Obituary for Mollie (Ditty) Dunnbier

Our precious Mollie (Ditty) Dunnbier, of West Hartford, wife of the late Otto E. Dunnbier, died peacefully on the morning of August 18, 2022 surrounded by the love of heaven and earth and everywhere in between. Mollie was born November 6, 1919 to Amos and Emma Ditty in Bascom, Florida and was the eldest of six children. She graduated from Florida Southern University and became the teacher of young children. She met her husband Otto in Venice, Florida. They were married on May 15, 1943. Mollie continued to teach, until her husband's return from WWII. They moved to Hartford, CT to begin their life together. They were married for 70 years.

Mollie was a member of the Hartford Methodist Church. She also was a member of book clubs, poetry groups, PEO, a philanthropic organization, and a music lover, who was a Saturday afternoon Metropolitan Opera listener. She traveled in Europe and throughout the United States after Otto's retirement. She moved to McAuley Assisted Living in 2009 where she became a vibrant and loved member of the community.

She leaves behind her children, daughter Susan Dunnbier and son Timothy Dunnbier, her granddaughter, Hannah-Stack-Dunnbier, and several generations of nieces and nephews of both the Southern and Northern contingent. She was the kindest, purest person we ever knew. She will always be with us.

Calling hours begin at noon with her burial following in Fairview Cemetery, West Hartford. All are invited to be together with our dearest Mollie.
