The VirtualBoxwell Team is sorry to report the passing of Dorothy May Reece. Dorothy was an Assistant Cook in the Stahlman Dining Hall from 1976 to 1985, a full decade run with Boxwell. We have almost no information on Dorothy.  She passed at the age of 80 in 2012 and was preceded in death by her parents and her husband.  She was survived by her three children and (in 2012) her two brothers and two sisters.

We have absolutely no photos of Dorothy Reece. Here is a photo of Business Manager Russ Parham speaking with the Schleichers just a little after when Dorothy worked at Boxwell
