HEMET, Calif. – Dorothy Yvette Dulac Osso, 81, passed unexpectedly in Hemet, Calif., on Oct. 12, and her exuberant zest for life will be greatly missed.

She was the daughter of Joseph and Amanda (Plante) Dulac. She had wonderful memories of growing up in Lewiston and summers at Nason’s Beach. After graduating from Lewiston High School, she worked as a bookkeeper in her father’s store, J. Dulac and Sons Plumbing and Hardware.

She married and moved to Washington, D.C., where she utilized her education at St. Peter’s and Cour Superieure (St. Dom’s) and became an interpreter at the French Embassy. The family then moved to Richmond, Va., where she lovingly raised her two daughters while working as a bookkeeper. Afterward, she moved to California and worked in the entertainment industry for an accounting firm until her retirement.

She remarried and lived an active life in Idyllwild, Calif. Throughout her life, she cherished her family and enjoyed outdoor activities, Maine lobsters, blueberries and maple syrup. She also enjoyed engaging one of her grandsons in French conversation.

She is survived by her husband, Morrison Egbert; her daughters, Jeanne Osso and Annette Osso of Arlington, Va.; her sisters, Lucile Lachance of Auburn and Madeleine Loffredo of Mount Holly, N.J.; her brother, Jean-Paul Dulac of Chelmsford, Mass.; five grandchildren; five great-grandchildren; and many nieces and nephews.

She was predeceased by a sister, Jacqueline Bergeron; and a brother, Leo “Fern” Dulac, both of Lewiston.
