Dorothy D. Tyler
July 29, 1953 — August 11, 2023
Dorothy Deneise Tyler was born on July 29th, 1953, in Toledo, Ohio to the late James John Tyler and the late Dorothy Mae Miller. She transitioned to glory on August 11, 2023, at home with her family.
Dorothy was born and raised in Toledo, Ohio and attended Jesup W. Scott High School and Stautzenberger College graduating with her associates degree in Business Administration. She worked at Xerox Service Center, and St Vincent Mercy Medical Center. Prior to retiring she was a home health aide for many years.
Dorothy was a Tenant Association President for the Alpha Towers. During this time, one of Dorothy's greatest passions was gardening and making sure others had free access to fresh fruits and vegetables. This passion led her to create a community garden at the Alpha Towers for seniors which allowed her to connect with Marcy Kaptur and Toledo Grows. Together they constructed multiple raised garden beds to supply fresh produce for the senior community.
Dorothy was a devoted member of the Church of New Beginnings for several years under the fellowship of the late Howard Blalark and now Pastor Aaron Roberts. Her Sundays were spent worshipping in the house of the Lord until she was no longer able to attend.
Dorothy loved spending time with her family and friends while sharing her joyous laughter and love with everyone she encountered. She always made sure you felt welcomed and knew that she was a listening ear while providing wisdom, encouragement, and prayer.
She was preceded in death by her father, James Tyler, mother, Dorothy Miller, sister, Gail McBride, and brother, Glenn Tyler. She leaves to cherish her loving husband, Curtis McAfee, brother, James Tyler Jr. (Valerie), son, William Fields (Erika), daughter, Toiann Tyler, daughter, Tawanna Murphy (Damon) and daughter, Afsanah Cunningham. A host of other grandkids, great-grandkids, family, and friends.
A visitation for Dorothy will be held from 10:00 a.m. until 11:00 a.m. at Church of New Beginnings at 4640 S Detroit Ave, Toledo, OH 43614, with a funeral service to directly follow at 11:00 a.m.
Dorothy will be laid to rest at Historic Woodlawn Cemetery.
