HARTWICK - Dorothy "Dot" M. McLean, 81, of Hartwick, passed away unexpectedly, Friday, Oct. 14, 2022. in Cooperstown.

Dot was born Jan. 26, 1941, in Hobart, the second daughter of the late Leslie and Mary Jane (Whispell) Kelsey.

Dot married Arnold "Cork" McLean on Sept. 20, 1958. Together they raised their children in the Hartwick area.

She was a great supporter of all family activities and never missed the annual McLean family reunion or an opportunity to square dance with Cork and friends. She loved taking photos and was considered the family photographer. If you were looking for a captured moment go to one of her many photo albums.

She was a lover of country music, spent hours watching the hummingbirds from her kitchen window and never passed a covered bridge without taking a photo. She could be found supporting area craft shows over the years and also enjoyed volunteering at the SQSPCA Thrift Shop on Friday mornings, where she made many new friends.

In addition to her parents, she was predeceased by her husband, Arnold "Cork" McLean Sr. in 2003; son, Arnold "Arnie" McLean Jr. in 2022; son-in-law, Timothy Morley and siblings, Harriet Raeder, Doris Whitney, Dawn Ingersol and Donald "Sonny" Kelsey.

She is survived by her children, Rose Morley of Oneonta and Paul (Theresa) McLean of Hartwick; grandchildren, Rhiannon Pysnik (Bill Vinci), Rome, Jacob Morley, East Syracuse, Shanna (William) DuBose, Texas, BJ (Kelly) Croft, Sidney, Samantha (Don) Rudler, Hartwick, Amanda Croft (Cory Farber), Hartwick; 12 great-grandchildren; along with several nieces and nephews.

Visitation, from noon until 1 p.m., Saturday, Oct. 22, at Delker and Terry Funeral Home, 30 South St., Edmeston, will be followed by funeral services at 1 p.m. Interment will be in Hartwick Cemetery and a time of fellowship will be held at Hartwick Fire Hall, 3088 County Highway 11, Hartwick.
