Obituary
Dorothy Marie Chambers, 84, of Ontario, passed away at her home on Thursday, July 25, 2019. Dorothy was born in Mansfield, Ohio on February 8, 1935. She was the daughter of Elmer and Esther (Fuhrer) Gilliom.
Dorothy had many talents that she generously used and shared with others. She was known for her delicious baking, making many wedding cakes and amazing cookies, and was the owner of Something Special Bake Shop. She made her own wedding dress as she had great talent in sewing and quilting. She had a great love for gardening and an exceptional appreciation for beautiful flowers. As an advocate of agriculture in the Richland County area, Dorothy was a 4H advisor for Farm Hands 4H Club and often visited area schools. She had a passion for teaching youth about agriculture through hands on activities such as making crafts, apple butter and learning about maple syrup. When children came to visit the Maple Syrup Farm during educational tours, they enjoyed maple syrup suckers that Dorothy made.

Chambers; her three sons, Jim (Julie (Hoover)) Chambers of Raleigh, North Carolina, John (Samantha) Chambers of Lake St. Louis, Missouri, and Bill (Cher) Chambers of Ontario; grandchildren, Jori Chambers of Boston, Massachusetts, Jared Chambers of Columbus, Tyler Chambers of Denver, Colorado, Megan Chambers of Lake St. Louis, Missouri, and Gage Crase of Ontario; a brother, John (Miriam) Gilliom of Conway, Arkansas; her sister, Helen (Jim) Burford of Mansfield; and numerous nieces and nephews.
