Each night we shed a silent tear as we speak to you in prayer. To let you know we love you and just how much we care. Take our million tear drops, wrap them up in love, then ask the wind to carry them to you in heaven.
Dorothy (Dottie) Mae McCammack, 77, passed away peacefully May 6, 2014 in Helena, Montana.
She was born in Helena, Montana to Bill and Edith Hazen on October 19, 1936.
She is preceded in death by her parents, Bill and Edith Hazen; two brother’s Eddy and Bobby Hazen and her son Carl Keller. Survived by her sister’s, Kay (Corky Johnson) Mathews and Peggy (Bob) Marshall; six daughter’s Donna (Jim) Higuera, Deby (Dennis) Dalton, Kathi (Stan) Kyle, Tracie (Joe) Keller, Wanda (Kevin) Cumley and JoAnne (Tony) McCammack, 15 grandchildren and 19 great grandchildren.
Mom was a strong woman with a fun sense of humor! She was a people person, loved picnics, the beach, a first snowfall, all kinds of music (Kevin thank you for singing to mom), popcorn and card games. She was kind and caring, those who knew her loved her.
The family wishes to extend their gratitude to the staff at Elkhorn Health and Rehabilitation for taking such good care of mom during her last few months of life. We would also like to extend a heartfelt thank you to Dr. Kreisberg for his support and professionalism, to the incredible ICU staff at St. Peters Hospital for their compassion. And to Amy, thank you for holding mom’s hand and for being there with us to the very end.
A celebration of life “Picnic” will be held August 3, 2014 in Helena; location and time to follow.
We love and miss you mom.

What a lady ! I always looked forward to her bright smile whenever I stopped by her work. No matter how she felt there was a warm smile and a hug and an “I’m just fine”!!
She will be greatly missed!!

I am so sorry for your loss. From the 1st time I met Dottie I was in awe of her. She was a very loving, caring, compassionate lady. Through the years we became very close. We shared good times, worried about loved ones and each other. Whenever I went to pick up a prescription and Dottie was working we always shared a big hug and kiss. I would walk in and Dottie would say..” there’s my beautiful adopted daughter now!” I called her ma. I miss those times, her hugs and smiles. I know that she is at peace now watching over her large family and friends.
Love you Ma, your adopted daughter, Bonnie Sewell
