Dorothy Lucille Solinger 89 passed away Sunday, January 15, 2012 from complications due to a stroke.  Born Dorothy Lucille Foster in Carthage Texas, she grew up in Tyler before moving to Houston in 1957.  She is preceded in death by her beloved husband Sidney Solinger, her brothers Harold and Leon Foster.  She is survived by her son Jay Solinger and his fiance Tina Almendarez, granddaughters Laura and Sarah Solinger and her sister Norma Jean Bradley of Tyler.  She is also survived by many nieces and nephews, many who visited her and sent cards continuously throughout her extended stay in Seven Acres nursing home. A special mention to Gayle Donsky, JoAnn Oremland, Kay Bates, Dana Solomon who did everything possible to make her life easier during her decline.  Dorothy was an elegant woman of class who made a lasting impression on all who knew her.  She was a loving wife, mother and grandmother who will be missed by all who knew her.  She gave up many things that she could have enjoyed herself in order to see to it that those coming up behind her would have everything they needed.  To her husband Sidney she was the woman of his dreams and to the very end of his life he dearly loved and worshipped her.
