Doris G. McCroy (Dolly) passed away on December 16, 2019 in Saint Claire’s Hospital, Denville after a short battle with esophageal cancer. She was 92.

Born in 1927 to the late Amos and Katie (Bates) Flatt, she was raised in Jefferson, before moving to Lower Berkshire Valley in 1947. She is a member of the First Presbyterian Church of Berkshire Valley. There she served as Deacon for many years and in past years served as a Sunday School Superintendent at the Lower Berkshire Valley Methodist Church. She was a Boy Scout Leader. She was a 32-year member of the Ever-Young Seniors in Roxbury Township, where she served in many roles, but was most proud of her nine-year role as President. She was recently an active volunteer in the Roxbury School system, managing the doors and security. In 2009, she was awarded the Living Treasure Award for Morris County. She was always a willing helpful hand to friends and family.
