Dorothy "Dottie" Walker, 82, died peacefully at home Friday afternoon with her family by her side. Born in New York to Harold and Jeanne Kreinik, she had been a resident of Syracuse since 1961 when her husband, Larry accepted a position at Upstate Medical Center. They raised their children here and enjoyed a good life. Dottie was an art teacher in the Liverpool Schools for over 30 years until retiring in 1995. She loved teaching children to appreciate and create artwork; she touched so many of her student's lives. She was an accomplished potter, and was for many years, a part of Clayscapes. Dottie was a past president of the twins and triplets club, and a volunteer with the American Cancer Society. A breast cancer survivor herself, she became a counselor and ambassador to other women who were fighting the same disease that she had conquered. Her family includes her husband, Larry, of 60 years; their son, Scott; their daughters, Carrie (Mark) Sayler, Leslie (Edward) Ashcraft and Ellen (Jim) Reidy; their grandchildren, Courtney, Abigail, Marissa, Brett, Danielle, Brittney, Brandon, Trevor and Hailey; nieces and nephews; and her grand-dogs, Striker, Duncon, Rheya and Buckley.
