Dorothy and Merv Bagley met in 2001, eloped in 2003, and shared two decades of adventures. They worked together, had hobbies, and a catchphrase: “A bushel and a peck, a hug around the neck,” to which she replied, “And to the moon!” Despite Dorothy’s 2004 stage 4 lymphoma diagnosis and worsening dementia, Merv stayed devoted. After a fall in October 2024, Dorothy’s health declined, and she passed away on November 24, surrounded by loved ones.
