Jessie M. Dowd

Jessie M. Dowd 82, of 8416 State Rd. 19, passed away unexpectedly, Tuesday, July 28, 2015 at Olean General Hospital. Born March 3, 1933 in Cuba, she was the daughter of John and Theresa Johnson Thornton.

Jessie had grown up in Belfast and was a graduate of Belfast Central School, class of 1951. Jessie was operator at the cheese factory in Genesee, PA for a few years and then for 10 years at Motorola Corp. in Arcade. Due to a disability, she retired at this time.

She loved to bake breads and all kinds of bakery goods, supplying all those around with her delicious foods. She also sewed for many people who needed something like a tear mended or a zipper put in. She loved her family and spending time with them.

Surviving are a son, Bruce R. (Deanna) Baldwin of Rushford; a daughter, Rita K. (Clair) West of Caneadea; three grandchildren and four great grandchildren; two brothers, Francis J. Thornton of Willet, NY, and Jack (Marie) Thornton of Caneadea; several nieces and nephews including a special niece and her family, Dixie and Donald Middaugh of Belfast; and a special friend, Delores Bailor of Cuba.

Jessie was predeceased by two sisters in law, Kay Thornton and Wilma Thornton.
