La Mesa American Little League

It is with great sadness to report that District 33 has lost a dear friend and staff member Dorothy DuPont. Dorothy lost her battle with kidney cancer and passed away on February 14th. Dorothy was born in Sheridan, Wyo., July 22, 1943, to Herbert Hagen and Sarah Howes Hagen. She graduated from Sheridan High School in 1961 and received a BS in Mathematics from the University of Wyoming in 1965. Dorothy belonged to Gamma Phi Beta and the Daughters of the American Revolution. She was an avid bridge player and a longtime supporter of PTA and Little League.

Dorothy was a valuable Little League volunteer in District 33 since 1978. She served in many capacities, starting with Mission Village Little League (the previous name of Serra Mesa).  Dorothy was instrumental as the President of Mission Village of obtaining the use of the property and moving the league to the present location. Dorothy was rewarded the highest honor that this District has to offer, the Jim Jones Volunteer of the Year Award.   

Dorothy was the only person that remained on the District Staff when I became DA. While her main duty on staff was as our scheduler, she also was a valuable adviser who would often remind me what Little League was all about. Dorothy was an amazing scheduler. I can't tell you how often she would rewrite a schedule due to last minute changes. Leagues would add a team or subtract a team or change their field availability or add some new thing after the schedule was written. Every time without complaint Dorothy would rewrite the schedule. When I wrote the tournament schedules using a computer program, I always sent them to Dorothy for reviewing. Dorothy would catch my mistakes and let me know where I had made an error or else did something that would not work.  She was amazing at being able to make a schedule work no matter how many variables or how many teams were involved. 

She is survived by her husband of 44 years, Henry; two sons, Scott and Daniel; five grandchildren, Carlos, Hector, Robert, Madeline and Catherine; her brother, Frank; and various nieces, nephews and cousins. Here is a link to her obituary in the UT: Dorothy DuPont's Obituary
