Dorothy Banks Wing passed away on December 14, 2022 after a brief illness surrounded by loved ones. Dottie was born to the late Irving and Cynthia Banks on February 2, 1944 in Jefferson. She was a 1962 graduate of Lincoln Academy where she participated in several clubs and was a member of the National Honor Society.
She was a caring and hardworking woman, traits she passed on to her family. She retired from Wm. W. Backus Hospital in Norwich, Connecticut, where she will be remembered for her work ethic and cantankerous spirit.
Dorothy is survived by her husband, Maurice (Archie) Wing Sr. and their four boys, Maurice Jr. Jay (Shayna), Jeff and his fiancée, Carolyn and Kevin (Linda). She was a loving grandmother to her four grandchildren and one great-grandchild.
Dotty was the older brother of Irving (Bud) who predeceased her, Donna Williams and Nancy Banks of Jefferson, Sheila (Tom) Clark of Baltic, Conn. and Shirley Barber of North Adams, Mass. She was also the aunt of several nieces and nephews.
Please respect the family’s wish to celebrate his life privately this spring while leaving custody of his remains at Griswold Funeral Home and Crematorium, 30 North Main St., Jewett City, Connecticut.
