Dorothy “Dottie” Moog Maxfield died peacefully on Wednesday, April 9th, at her home in Claremont, New Hampshire. She was 96.
Dottie was born on January 31, 1929, in Saint Cloud, Minnesota, the daughter of Alfred and Rose Moog. She was raised on her family’s farm in Mayhew Lake, Minnesota, received her early education in a one-room schoolhouse, and graduated from the public high school in Sauk Rapids, Minnesota. At the age of 17, she left home to pursue nursing training. She graduated from the registered nurse training program at Saint Mary’s Hospital of the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota. She became a neurosurgical nurse supervisor at the Mayo Clinic where she was inspired by the pioneering neurosurgical work. It was there that she met Dr. Robert G. Maxfield, a young surgical fellow.
The two were married on September 12, 1953, and the following year, moved to Claremont, where Robert (Bob) established a general surgery practice which he maintained until his retirement in 1991. Dottie devoted herself to her husband and their six children, creating a home she filled with joy, comfort, curiosity, and deep affection.
Dottie was a loving and steady presence for her children. She had a remarkable way of making her children feel understood and supported. Together with her husband she taught her children and grandchildren the value of love in creating a joyful life.
She had a beautiful singing voice and was a skilled pianist. The music of Schumann, Chopin and Gershwin were part of the soundtrack for her children’s formative years. She was a voracious reader, an insatiable solver of crossword puzzles, and a joyous gardener. She loved Claremont and made a friend of everyone she met.
Dottie was predeceased by her beloved husband and her son-in-law, Robert K. Harris. She is survived by her brother, Thomas Moog (and wife, Marguerite) of Waite Park, Minnesota; and by her six children: Mary Maxfield (and partner, Rick Jurgens) of Lebanon, NH; Jim Maxfield (and wife, Ann) of Buxton, ME; Bob Maxfield (and wife, Patty) of Lebanon, NH; Margaret Katucki (and husband, Chris) of Norwich, VT; Nan Righi (and husband, Paul) of Brattleboro, VT; and Charles Maxfield (and wife, Sharon) of Durham, NC. She is also survived by her 13 grandchildren: Joe and Rigel Harris; Harris and Elisabeth Maxfield; David and Bradley Maxfield; Tom Katucki; John, Sam, Kirtley and Bobby Righi; Charles and Jack Maxfield; and six great grandchildren.
Her family is grateful for the care provided by Candy Royce, and the watchful protection of neighbor Michael Theroux, during her final years, and for the fact that she never had to leave the home where she raised her family and lived for 68 years.
Visiting hours will be held on Friday, May 2nd from 4-7PM at the Stringer Funeral Home, 146 Broad Street in Claremont.

Albert Norwalk, 84, a devoted husband, loving father, grandfather and respected member of the Plainfield, NH, community, passed away peacefully on April 17, 2025.
Born in Cleveland, OH, on February 9, 1941, to Albert Casimir and Rose (née Cerny) Norwalk, Al was one of five children. He spent his early years in Ohio and Pennsylvania, where his hardworking spirit and sense of humor began to take root.
In 1959, Albert enlisted in the U.S. Navy, serving aboard the USS Conisteo. Before completing his service in 1962, he had the honor of serving as part of the Honor Guard at Arlington National Cemetery in Washington, D.C.—a role that spoke to his quiet dignity and deep respect for those who served.
It was in Washington, D.C. that Albert met Nancy Eroszonak, on a blind date. The two were married on November 13, 1964, and built a life in Washington DC., with partnership, love, and mutual respect. Albert worked at the Department of the Interior from 1967 to 1969 as a digital systems operator.
In 1969, Al and Nancy moved to Plainfield, NH, to be closer to Nancy’s family. Al began working at Dartmouth College’s Kiewit Computation Center as a lead computer operator. He later joined C-Tek Software, Inc. as a computer operations supervisor from 1980 to 1986 before returning to Dartmouth College. Where he served as a senior computer operator until his retirement in 2006. During his time at Dartmouth he contributed to the early world of computing with dedication and integrity.
Albert had a love for the outdoors. Whether he was tending to his vegetable garden “he could grow anything but weeds”—relocating trees around the yard, watching birds and wildlife, or pulling snakes from the woodpile He was happy to share everything he knew about the trees and plants and where they thrived and could identify birds just by their sounds. He also loved a good black-and-white western and joked that one day he’d be “hanging out with John Wayne.”
A man of quiet strength and dry, witty humor, Albert was known for his selflessness, generosity, dependability and stubbornness. He always offered help without hesitation; however, preferred doing things himself, and never forgot to say “thank you.” He was polite to everyone he met and appreciated the small courtesies of life. A man of few words his dry, witty sense of humor revealed itself once you truly knew him.
He was pre-deceased by his five siblings and is survived by his beloved wife of 60 years, Nancy; his son, Kenneth Norwalk (Chante); daughter, Amy Norwalk Gillam (Joe); five grandchildren; and three great-grandchildren. His family takes comfort in the love he gave them, the lessons he taught, and the memory of one of the last things he said: “See you on the other side.”
In lieu of flowers, donations in Albert’s memory may be made to: Friends of the Philip Read Memorial Library Scholarship Fund, P.O. Box 163, Plainfield, NH 03781
Albert’s life was a quiet testament to love, service, and perseverance. He will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him.
Calling hours will be Wednesday, April 23rd at Stringer Funeral Home in Claremont from 5 to 7PM. A Mass of Christian burial will be held on Thursday, April 24th at 11AM at St. Joseph's Church in Claremont.
