She also served on the board of the Camden Home for Children for many years. She gave of her gifts and time volunteering for Urban Promise.  In her younger years she especially enjoyed being part of the theatrical events for the Merchantville Women’s Club. Dottie was a long time member of Merchantville Country Club for 65 years. As first mate to Captain John, Dottie shared a passion for boating with family and friends on the Delaware and Chesapeake waters.

Wife of the late John A. Schimpf; grandmother of the late Aimee Riley, she is survived by two loving children, Louis H. Schimpf (Linda) and John R.

Dottie was affectionately known as Nana to more than her own family. Encouragement was the hallmark of her life and serving others was her daily practice.
