Dorothy T. Huebner, 91

Dorothy T. Huebner, born on March 15, 1934, in Atlanta, died peacefully surrounded by loved ones on December 20, 2025, at Care Dimensions Hospice in Lincoln.

Growing up an enlisted chaplain’s daughter during WWII, Dorothy moved many times during her youth, ending up in Kingston, New York, for high school. She attended Drew University and then earned her master’s degree in education before becoming a third grade teacher, supporting her three daughters as a single mother in the 1970’s. Acquiring two more daughters, she remarried Daniel Huebner, who predeceased her in 2005. She then married R. Wayne Grant, who survives her at Rivercrest Nursing Home in Acton.

Although she valued her many years as an educator, Dorothy considered her daughters her “greatest gifts.” Dorothy showed up with a kindness, humility, sense of humor, and all-enveloping warmth that, in turn, were the greatest gifts she left to this world and those lucky enough to have called her Mom, Grandma, Love, Sister, Aunt, or Friend. Also known as “The Great Dot” by her family, she will live on through them — as they live their lives sowing the kindness she reaped in them.

Dorothy is survived by five daughters, Lynn Cain of Sudbury, Jill Heisey of Acton, Robyn Heisey (and husband Todd Monjar) of Bellingham, Danielle Huebner of Quincy, and Phaedra Huebner of San Diego; three grandchildren, Emily Cain of Watertown, Ryan Cain of New York City, and Sebron (Phoenix) Rowe of Framingham; one brother, David B. Tarr (and wife Helen) of Charlotte, North Carolina; and seven beloved nieces and one nephew.

A private gathering of family and friends is being planned for sometime this spring to further celebrate “The Great Dot.”
