Dorothy Herman
Dorothy Herman, age 63, of Oxford, PA passed away peacefully on Monday, July 20, 2020 at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia, PA. She was the loving and devoted wife of Richard Kevin Herman for more than 40 years. Dorothy was born on December 16, 1956 in Hamorton, Pennsylvania, and was the daughter of the late Leo and the late Agnes Barbacovey. Dorothy graduated from Unionville Highschool in 1974. She worked for Wawa, Inc. from 1976 to 1986 where she met Rich, the love of her life, before resigning to stay at home with her children. She homeschooled her four children for most of their lives and instilled in them a love of nature, history, and the Lord. When her children were older, she worked for The Friends Home in Kennett Square for 20 years. She had a passion for the Lord and was a member of Andrews Bridge Christian Church. She loved baking with her children and grandchildren, enjoyed having tea with her sisters, and family trips to the Beach. Having grown up on the Longwood Gardens property, it held a very special place in her heart, which she passed on to her children. In addition to her husband, she is survived by her two daughters, Kristine (Sarah) Herman and Erin (Shaun) Hartley; two sons, Mark (Laura) Herman and Adam (Jaime) Herman; and two beautiful granddaughters. She is preceded in death by her parents, in-laws, and a brother-in-law. Services and internment will be private.
