Dorothy Jean Weiman

With fleeting sadness and lasting joy, we announce the peaceful passing of Dorothy Jean Taylor Weiman, Dot or Dottie to friends, on May 16, 2026, in Orlando.

She was born in the coal and railroad town of Appalachia, Va on April 28, 1929.  She graduated from Hiwassee College, and years later, Florida Technological University (now UCF). She met her husband when he was stationed in Houston, TX, and they settled in Orlando during his last work station, McCoy AFB.

She taught business education and retired following decades of service in the Orange County Public School system.

Dottie's kindness, compassion, and love were reflected in a smile that often brought a cheerful response or wave from strangers.

She is survived by her son, Andrew Shiloh; nieces Shanda Horner (Garnett), Cathy Turner (Sonny), and Susan Leathers (Larry); nephew "Backy" Taylor (Katie); and beloved cats, those living and those greeting her at the Rainbow Bridge.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Baxter Brooks and Amelia Wacks Taylor; her husband Andrew Lawrence Weiman (USAF Ret, Maj); sister Evelyn Kiser; brother BB Taylor Jr (Hilda); and nephew John Taylor (Allison).

She will be interred at Arlington National Cemetery at a later date.
