The holiday seasons are sure to bring us gladness of sharing joy with family and friends and much sadness because some of those we loved are no longer with us.
This season brought great sadness when Pittsburgh lost one of its precious gems. Not the kind of gem you wear around your neck or on your finger but the kind you wear in the depth of one’s heart.
This precious gem was G. Carolyn Dorsey a native of
Pittsburgh and stable, monument of human excellence in Pittsburgh.
Carolyn, whom some called Carol, Aunt Carol, sister, mother, grandmother, friend and wife was a quiet force who set about her daily life developing her business, creating friends and changing lives.
Carolyn sprinkled nuggets of love as she lived her life leaving a pathway for all that admired her to follow. She was petite in stature, but large in integrity and character. She spared no time or financial support for non-profits and community events.
She lived by an amazing faith in the Lord. This was her glowing strength that actually emanated when you were in her presence.
She never forgot to give the Lord all the glory for all that he allowed her to accomplish and all she was able to share with others.
Anyone who knew her couldn’t help but love her even the clients that she attained through her business at State Farm Insurance, which is situated in the East Liberty or Eastside section of the City of Pittsburgh.
This gracious lady was the wife of well known entrepreneur, Neil Dorsey, another permanent fixture
of the City of Pittsburgh being the first and only record store owned and operated by an African American.
If you are from the inner city of Pittsburgh, then you know the prominent Dorsey family.
Carolyn and Neil were a bond of love and notable
role models.
This writing is one way to remind all who know Carolyn and her family that she will forever be kept in our hearts and memory.
