Dorothy Irene Gillespie BERGER January 3, 1922 – September 13, 2019. reached the end of a long and happy life at 97 on September 13, 2019. Dorothy was born on January 3, 1922, and grew up in Seibert, a small farm town on the eastern Colorado plains. She graduated from Seibert High School and, with a scholarship, continued her education at the University of Northern Colorado in Greeley, followed by a year at Barnes Business School in Denver. She enlisted in the United States Marine Corps in April 1944. Following boot camp at Camp Lejeune, NC, Dorothy was transferred to San Diego, CA. She was honorably discharged in February 1946 and returned to Denver, working for the Veterans Administration while attending night school at the University of Denver through 1949. After taking the State Department exam, Dorothy travelled to Washington, D.C., went through the Foreign Service Institute and was assigned to Austria, thus beginning her lifelong dream of foreign travel. She worked at the American Embassy in Vienna with the State Department, where she met Howard Berger, who was serving with the Army (U.S. Forces, Austria) as part of the Four-Power military occupation of that country along with the British, French and Russians. They were married on February 10, 1951.
When the peace treaty was signed and the occupation ended in 1955, Dorothy and Howard travelled to Camp Darby, Livorno/Pisa, Italy, where the Army established the Southern European Task Force, a missile command. In 1956, the Bergers moved with the Headquarters to Verona where Dorothy taught typing, military correspondence and office procedures to Italian employees of the Army. She also took night courses at the overseas branch of the University of Maryland. Then, in 1965, following another Headquarters move to Vicenza, Dorothy became the Boston University Overseas Regional Coordinator for seven bases throughout Italy and Spain. In that role she travelled extensively, arranging for and assisting Army, Air Force, Navy, Marine and State Department personnel to pursue their graduate degrees. She retired in 1986 due to injuries suffered in an on-the-job automobile accident.
After a span of 50 years overseas, and when her husband retired from the Department of the Army in October 1994, the Bergers relocated to the U.S., splitting time between residences in beautiful Naples, FL, and delightful Denver, CO.
Dorothy enjoyed travel, reading and politics as well as the arts, particularly art history, music, theater and opera. Family and friends were inspired and delighted by her warm and comforting presence.
Dorothy was preceded in death by her parents, Ralph Gillispie and Ina (Nightingale), brother, Norvin Gillispie, and sisters, Leila Hicks, Elaine Gupton and Oleta Hollman. She is survived by her husband, Howard; three nieces, Vevalee Padilla, Carolyn Velasquez, and Cheryl Wolf (Mark) and two nephews, Ron Gupton (Doretha) and Arlen Gupton (Jo); many great and great-great nieces and nephews and a host of dear friends here and abroad. Dorothy lived her life as a beautiful example to others. She was kind, compassionate, tolerant, charitable and patriotic. Her care and concern for others was so apparent in all her personal and professional relationships. Dorothy will be sorely missed and never forgotten by all who knew and loved her. Services and internment was held at Ft. Logan National Cemetery, Denver, Colorado, on Wednesday, October 2, 2019 at 11am at Staging Area “A”. SEMPER FI

James “Jim” Gillespie 78, of Colorado Springs, Colorado, passed away Monday, December 25, 2023 after a long, courageous battle with cancer. Jim was born in Georgia in 1945. He moved to Colorado when he was eleven years old and put down roots in Colorado Springs with his family where he spent the rest of his days. Jim went to St. Mary’s Catholic High School. There he met the love of his life, Carolyn Floyd at the young age of 15. They were married in 1964 and recently celebrated their 59th Wedding Anniversary in November.
Jim spent his younger years coaching basketball at Sacred Heart and working as a referee for Parks and Recreation. He went to UCCS for a number of years, and eventually started a career at the United States Air Force Academy (USAFA) in Civil Service as a Contract Manager. He spent 30 years working in Civil Service. In 2005, Jim began work for the Pikes Peak Rural Transportation Authority (PPRTA). He retired in 2010. His charming personality and skillful networking made him a valued employee and friend. When Jim was 21 years old, he discovered the second love of his life—Golf. At night, he practiced hitting hundreds of golf balls in his basement, honing his skills for the game. Jim was a celebrated member of the USAFA Eisenhower Golf Club, where he spent many years in the Eisenhower Men’s Golf Association (EMGA) as a Charter Member and a “regular” on the golf course. His passion for the sport led to years of customizing golf clubs for himself and his friends. He was a talented and dedicated player.
Jim and Carolyn had three daughters during their marriage; Amy, Erin, and Sarah. Jim is survived by his wife Carolyn and his daughters Amy Adkins (Ed), Erin Gillespie, and Sarah Evans (Philip). He has four beautiful grandchildren (Taylor, Devin, Finnigan, and Asher) and numerous extended family and friends. Jim Gillespie enjoyed old music, classic crooners, good food and hearty laughter. He loved his family and his role as a husband, father, and grandfather. His presence on this Earth will be greatly missed.

Elham MCCARTHEY, 1927 – 2018. Aurora, CO. Born November 11, 1927, peacefully passed away on January 5 after an exceptional 90 years of life. She is survived by her three children: Valerie McCarthey-Smith (Skip); Eric McCarthey (Peggy); Sharon Gillespie (Tim); and granddaughter, Alexandra. Ellie is also survived by nieces Sandra Lester, Sharman Hutchens, and nephew, Nigel Hughes.”Ellie”, as she is known to family and friends, was born in Jaffa, Palestine. She was the youngest of five children born to Tewfik and Alia Hallak, of Turkish and Albanian descent respectively. She was a highly gifted young woman who was educated in German schools in Palestine. She learned and mastered four languages, and actively played several sports. Ellie always made friends easily. To her last day she never met a stranger. Her smile and laugh were her signature. After World War II the Hallak family fled to Beirut, Lebanon, where Elham went on to complete a four year degree at the American University of Beirut. While working in Beirut, this lovely young woman began the journey of her life when she met and fell in love with Robert G. “Bob” McCarthey, Jr., an American, who was working for Williams Brothers Oil Company in Beirut. Ellie and Bob married a few months after meeting, then moved to the United States where Ellie began the next stage of her life as a Navy wife living in NY and NJ. Bob had enlisted and was stationed there as a Second Lieutenant in the Naval Supply. They later moved to Tulsa, Oklahoma, where Bob began work for Vinson Supply. From there Ellie found herself ‘deep in the heart of Texas’ when Bob was transferred to Amarillo, TX. They lived in Amarillo for many years until they were transferred again to Denver, CO, in order for Bob to open and manage a new branch office for Vinson Supply. Ellie raised her family, and several lovable dogs, primarily in Amarillo and Denver. Ellie was all “mom”, living her life devoted to her children, Sharon, Eric and Valerie. She was a second mom to many others as well – always creating a home where all the children’s friends could wander in and out as needed throughout their lives. Between football and baseball practices and games, ballet classes, theater rehearsals and performances, Ellie put in a great deal of “windshield duty”, chauffeuring her busy kids back and forth. She was often heard saying to her family that she was “not a short order cook”! That said, nobody could make a meatloaf like Ellie! She came a long way from not knowing how to cook when she and Bob were first married. Ellie was a formidable and avid bridge player, active in many bridge groups over the years. She was invited to become a member of the prestigious international organization, Welcome to Colorado, which she truly enjoyed. She took great pride in her membership and was an active member for many years. In later years Ellie expanded her interests by becoming educated in the world of finance and investing, even joining an investment club.Despite the great distance, Ellie always managed to stay close to her mother, brother and sisters, who were living in Lebanon, England and South Africa. She made several trips overseas throughout the years to be with her beloved family, even bringing her mother to Amarillo to live with our family for a period of time. Ellie’s heritage was extremely important to her and she passed on this significance and appreciation to her children and granddaughter. Her network of close friends, wherever she lived, was remarkable, as she generated a spirit and love for others like no one else. Ellie spent the last forty-five years in the Denver area. Her family celebrated her life on June 2. Springtime was a favorite time of year as she used to sing in one of her favorite songs, “When It’s Springtime in the Rockies”. Mom, your family misses you every single day, and we are forever grateful to you for helping us to become the people we are today.
