• OBITUARY

  Dorothy Parker Trotz, 89, formerly of Chattanooga, passed away peacefully on Wednesday, August 30, 2023, in Atlanta. She was born in Chattanooga on April 23, 1934, to Eva and Sol Parker. She graduated from Chattanooga High School, and then she attended the University of Florida in Gainesville. Thereafter, she trained as a medical technologist at the Touro Institute in New Orleans. After completing her training, she began her career at Memorial Hospital as a medical technologist. Although she found the work rewarding, she decided to temporarily leave the medical field to raise a family. After her children went to elementary school, she worked as a respected cytotechnologist for the OBGYN medical group of Doctors Demos, Jones, Portera, and Suggs, where she helped thousands of patients by examining slides of human cells for any indication of abnormality or disease. Aside from her distinguished career, she was a long-time member of B'nai Zion Congregation and Sisterhood. She was a voracious reader, and she always kept up with current events. She could converse with anyone on just about any subject. She was loved by many for her kindness, intelligence, humbleness, and her sense of humor. She was extremely proud of her family, and she delighted in everyone else’s happiness. She was preceded in death by her loving and devoted husband of 62 years, Herman Boruch Trotz, of blessed memory; her parents, Eva and Sol Parker; her sisters (and best friends, who she spoke to at least 3 or 4 times a day): Alena Stahl and Mary Prigoff, of blessed memory; She is survived by her 3 children: daughter, Ronni Beker (David), of Marietta, Georgia; sons: Eric Trotz (Blair) and Corey Trotz (Mary) of Memphis, Tennessee; 7 grandchildren: Joseph Beker (Jenna), Alissa Selby (Dave), Parker Trotz (Lauren), Emily Trotz, and Ethan Trotz (Sophie), Ella Trotz, and Calder Trotz; 3 great-grandsons, Eli Selby, Oliver Beker, and Hayden Trotz; and 2 great-granddaughters, Wren Selby and Ava Dottie Beker. She is also survived by many nieces, nephews and cousins. In lieu of flowers, donations in her memory can be made to B'nai Zion Congregation in Chattanooga, Siskin Children's Institute or a favorite charity.
