Known as Dot or “Grammy”, she was loved by all who met her, including her incredible nurses and caregivers for the past year and a half at Brigham Health and Rehab in Newburyport. She was a very likable, sweet, quiet woman yet was also known as a straight shooter for her sassy and quick-witted comebacks. Dot loved camping, sewing, reading, major league baseball, and her word search and bingo games.

She was employed by Madison Hill Upholstery in the Methuen Mill Building as a fabric cutter for a number of years and was also a member of the Methuen Senior Center.

Dot will be deeply missed by her husband William Haney; 2 children, Barbara Perry and her husband Joe, and Buddy Haney and his wife Linda; 6 grandchildren, Jared Haney, Britney Haney and Riley Haney; Jennifer Perry, Lauren Foucher, and Lucas Perry. 5 great grandchildren; her sister Bertha Rothwell; and several nieces and nephews.
