Dorothy "Dottie" Warmkessel of Emmaus rejoined loved ones on February 15, 2021, after 84 years of enjoying life with friends and family.  She was the beloved wife of the late Leonard "Lenny" S. Warmkessel Sr. for 29 years.  Dottie was preceded in death by her first husband of 24 years, Anthony "Tony" Snyder of Lenhartsville, where they enjoyed their farm with many animals.  Dottie was loving known as "Auntie" to her pride and joys, godson and nephew Frankie, grandnephews Brandon & Trent, and grandniece Grace.  Born in Hazelton, she was the daughter of the late Marvin A and Lillian C. (Eckert) Lowe.  After graduating from Allentown High School in 1955 she began her career at The Call Chronical (The Morning Call) as the only woman, at that time, keypunch computer operator for 31 years, which she was very proud of.  Dottie's favorite things besides being with family were her many pets, gardening her fruits and vegetables, listening to her favorite artist Elvis, dancing, going on adventures with her lifelong best friend Millie, exercising at the former Curves gym, meeting up with "the girls" for brunch, cooking, baking, playing cards, and smiling and laughing as often as possible.
