    • Dorothy McQuisten Obituary

      Dorothy McQuisten, age 89, of Portland, Tennessee, entered into peace on Wednesday, September 18, 2024. Dorothy was born on October 15, 1934, to her parents Wilford and Angeline Willette, in Detroit, Michigan. She was a devoted wife and truly cherished her husband, Jack. Dorothy and Jack loved to dance together. They were thrilled to dance in ballroom and country western competitions. Dorothy also enjoyed completing cross word puzzles, and crocheting gifts for her friends and family in her leisure time. Dorothy will be remembered for being fearlessly bold and her endearing spunk.

      She was a loving wife, mother, and grandmother who will be dearly missed.

      Dorothy Marie (Willette) McQuisten is survived by her daughter, Shellie Duvall(Curtis); 9 grandchildren; 9 great grandchildren; and her brother, Gerald Willette(Angie).

      She was preceded in death by her husband, Jack McQuisten; sons, Wesley Tallent, Steven Tallent, and Mickey Roberts; father, Wilford Willette; mother, Angeline (Belpero) Willette; sister, Jonie Willette; and her brother, Roy Willette.

      Although there are no funeral services to announce, the McQuisten family kindly request memorial donations be made to two charities close to Mrs. Dorothy’s heart; either the American Diabetes Association or to Autism Speaks.
