Dorothy “Dot” B. Benson, age 75, of Newark, DE passed away on Tuesday, June 25, 2013 at Christiana Hospital.

Dorothy was born on December 9, 1937 in Lewisburg, WV to the late Emory & Lizzie Mae (Allen) Williams.

Dot worked at the Glass Kitchen for over 40 years where she worked every aspect of the restaurant business from waitress to food prep. She was also known to sell Avon and Tupperware. A loving and caring mother, wife and person, she was known to put everyone’s needs in front of her own. Her purse was known “to make MacGuyver proud” as it seemed to have anything anyone would ever need inside. She would often dance and sing to her favorite music around the house which would include Sinatra, Elvis and many of the old country greats. Dot was always within reach of some candy and a cup of coffee.

She is survived by her sons, David Benson and wife Rosalie of Newark, DE, Mark Benson and wife Dawn of Newark, DE and James Benson, Jr. and wife Danielle of Newark, DE; daughters, Jane Benson and Betty Wyatt, both of Newark, DE; grandchildren, Kacee Benson, Scott Estep, Morgan Benson, Taylor Benson, Abby Benson, Mark Jr. and Jenna Benson; sister, Gaynel Hanas of Baltimore, MD and brother, David Williams of Lancaster, OH.

In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband, James Benson Sr. in 2012.

Services will be held at 11:00 am on Tuesday, July 2, 2013 at R.T. Foard Funeral Home, P.A., 259 E. Main Street, Elkton, MD 21921 where friends may visit one hour prior beginning at 10AM. Interment will follow at St. Clements Cemetery in Massey, MD.

My deepest condolences to the whole Benson family. Dotty was an energizer bunny at the Glass Kitchen. She did everything and was a great worker, co-worker, mother figure and friend. She always took the new employees under her wing. She was a kind soul. I have not seen her in a few years but will always remember her smile and goodness. Time to rest Dotty and give up the apron. You deserve eternal peace...

Our condolences go out to the family of Dot Benson. Dot was an extraordinary lady, who was so considerate and kind to all the people she was in contact with. May she rest in peace in God's arms. The Epperson Family

Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

Dottie, as a cousin to me, was such a treasure. She made life more enjoyable with her determination to spread happiness and joy! I will miss that beautiful smile and her contagious laughter. But now it's time for her to sing and dance with the angels, so go ahead, sing and dance Dottie, sing and dance!

Please accept our deepest condolences for your family's loss.
