Wendy Dore ... worked at family restaurants; at 69

ROCHESTER - Wendy Dore, 69, died on Monday, May 12, 2025, surrounded by the love of her family.
Born June 27, 1955, in Lewiston, Maine, Wendy was the cherished daughter of the late Robert Greenleaf Sr. and Madeline (Cash) Greenleaf. A passionate learner, Wendy earned her bachelor's degree in history from the University of Massachusetts Amherst. Her compassion and dedication to others guided her professional path, most notably through her work as a Direct Support Professional House Manager at Woodfords Family Services in Westbrook, Maine. Wendy also spent over 20 years working at her parent's restaurant, the Gateway Family Restaurant in Lee and Somersworth.
Wendy found joy in life's simple pleasures--cheering on her favorite sports teams, soaking in the serenity of the beach, and exploring the rich culture of the Indian reservation in Toas, New Mexico where she did her student teaching. Above all, Wendy treasured the time spent with her family. She shared a special bond with her beloved daughter, Erin, and took immeasurable pride in her granddaughter, Bella Marie. Whether laughing with loved ones, spoiling the family dogs, or catching up with friends, Wendy radiated warmth, humor, and love.
Wendy is survived by her devoted husband, Frank Dore, of Rochester, her daughter Erin Dore, of Rochester, and her granddaughter, Bella Marie. She is also survived by her siblings, Robert Greenleaf Jr., and his wife, Sandra, of Florida and Sharon MacDonald, and her husband, Steven, of Methuen, MA, her sister-in-law Becky Dore, and her mother-in-law, Sylvia Dore. She was predeceased by her brother-in-law, Glen Dore. She will be missed dearly by her nephews and nieces, Mike MacDonald, and his wife Emily, Matthew MacDonald, and his wife Kiera, Robert Greenleaf III, and his wife, Autumn, Kelley Wood, and her husband, Ryan, Megan Greenleaf, Christi Gregory, and Carrie Dore, along with 10 great-nieces and nephews.
