DENNIS – Dorcas W. West passed away peacefully on Thursday, September 16, 2021. She is survived by her brother, Dr. Spencer A. Moore and sister-in-law, Elizabeth (Libby) L. Moore, niece, Elizabeth A. Moore, nephew, Adam S. Moore and step- nephew, James Walters.

Dorcas was born and raised in Springfield, MA and graduated from Bay Path Junior College in Longmeadow, MA. Dorcas had an exciting and very rewarding career with United Airlines, first as a flight attendant and later as a Supervisor of Reservations in Salt Lake City, Utah. She retired to Cape Cod and was a resident of Dennis for many years.

Dorcas was a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints where she served with enthusiasm and compassion teaching children and adults as well as serving in the Boston Temple. Her wonderfully unique personality will be missed by her church congregation and her family as well as many dear friends across the country. Dorcas had a special affection for children and animals as well as anyone who seemed to be vulnerable. She was kind and compassionate and Dorcas was fun to be around!

Friends and relatives are invited to attend a funeral service on Thursday, September 23, 2021 at 10:00 A.M. at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints chapel, 94 Freeman’s Way, Brewster, MA. Interment will follow at Oak Ridge Cemetery, Rt. 134, South Dennis, MA.

To the Moore family and James Walter I send your family my thoughts and prayers. I worked with your sister in Boston and I am here to tell you I enjoyed every minute of our friendship. We did a lot of laughing and I will cherish those memories. Dorcas may you REST IN PEACE.

Dorcas was a wonderful lady. She helped me learn how to meet our flights on the night shift. We had a great time working together. Praying for her and family,friends of United family.

Dr. Moore, and family, I am so saddened to hear of the passing of Dorcas. She retired a number of years ago from United in Boston. We lost touch and I always wondered how she was doing in years past but no way to check up on her. One of our colleagues just notified us at United of her passing. She was truly a special lady, she loved her dogs. I hope that after she retired she lived life to her fullest, and enjoyed every minute of it! My deepest condolences to you all..she will be fondly remembered.

I am so sorry to learn of Dorcas passing. She was truly a light in my life, who focused on the best in people, dogs and her surroundings! Her thankful and giving spirit was shared with all she met. She will be sorely missed.

Spencer, I am so sorry for your loss. I remember you telling me how you often visited Dorcas at her Dennis home. Dorcas, by the obituary, sounded like a wonderful and kind person. My deepest condolences for your loss. Would love to visit and catch up with you should you return to the Cape in the future. With much respect, Don Siddell
