ANDOVER — Dorothy Beizer Eckman, passed away from complications due to Cancer and Parkinson's disease.
Dorothy was a cherished member of the Andover community since she, her husband Al, son David and daughter Melissa moved here in 1969. Dorothy had a beautiful shop, known as The Designer's Workshop, in downtown Andover from 1973 until 2004, in which they displayed designer furniture, fabrics and artwork.
Dorothy was an Interior Designer and worked with hundreds of appreciative clients over the years from Palm Beach to Conway, NH. A true artist, she had a vision of understated elegance, warmth and beauty for every project she undertook and set about executing it with her clients who usually became lifelong friends. She gently taught her clients to see the style and charm that was possible in their homes.
She loved cooking and having flocks of friends and family over for dinners that nourished, rejuvenated and inspired. A common notion about Dorothy felt by everyone was that she was a passionate and vibrant person, with a positive outlook who exuded kindness and warmth to everyone she made contact with.
ARRANGEMENTS: A Memorial Service will be held at Temple Emmanuel on Haggetts Pond Road in Andover on Thursday, January 5th at 1 pm. Shiva hours will be on Thursday evening at Son, David and Monica Eckman's home at 22 Summer Street, Andover, from 5 pm to 8 pm.
