It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Dorothea Hager, a dedicated, loyal, loving, and thoughtful woman who was born on June 20, 1944, in Fitchburg, MA.
Dorothea resided in Lunenburg, Massachusetts, and departed from this life on December 18, 2024. She was a woman of grace and beauty, not defined by work, but by the immeasurable amount of love she poured into her family, which was of the utmost importance to her.
As Helen Keller once said, "The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched - they must be felt with the heart." Dorothea epitomized this sentiment, touching the hearts of all those she encountered.
Dorothea's unwavering love for her family will live on through her son, Mark (Stephanie) Hager; her beloved grandchildren, Heather (Thomas) Headington and Luke (Jen) Hager; and her cherished great-grandchildren, Talia, Clark, Willow, and Kelsey.
She was predeceased by her father Charles Ztrakas, mother Anela Demulle-Ztrakas, and her beloved husband, Harry Hager, who she is now joyously reunited with, dancing with him in heaven.
As Victor Hugo put it, "To love or have loved, that is enough. Ask nothing further. There is no other pearl to be found in the dark folds of life." Dorothea's love story with her husband Harry was a testament to this truth.
We encourage everyone who knew Dorothea to leave memories and upload photos to the memorial page as a tribute to her life. In lieu of planting a tree or sending flowers, please consider a donation to Renew Church - 30 Merrimack Road, Amherst, NH 603-672-0808. renewnh.com.
Funeral Services and Burial will be private.
Funeral Arrangements have been entrusted to the BRANDON Funeral Home, Wanoosnoc Rd., Fitchburg.
