Obituary Please share a memory of Dorothy to include in a keepsake book for family and friends. View Tribute Book Dorothy Virginia Makel, 97, of Frederick, Maryland transitioned to be with the Lord on Saturday, October 8, 2022, at 12:40 p.m. Dorothy worked many years and retired from Capital Milk Produce in Frederick, often walking back and forth to work because “it is healthier.” Dorothy loved spending time with her family where she was often decorated as the primary cook. She loved decorating her home for the seasons and creating her own sun by making her home a beautiful sanctuary where all were welcomed. Mom will be forever in our hearts, and we rejoice for having been blessed with such a gracious and amazing mother and matriarch. She is survived by her: brothers, Wilson Ambush, age 101 of Washington, D.C., and Arnold Ambush, age 94, of Frederick, MD; six children, Malcolm and Betty Makel of Marietta, GA, Sandra Makel of Walkersville, MD, Garland Makel, III of Frederick, MD, Darlene Cosley of Hagerstown, MD, Dexter and Stephanie Makel of Frederick, MD, and Roxanne and Dwayne Gaines of Germantown, MD. Dorothy was also blessed to be survived by 32 grandchildren reaching to the fifth generation; and numerous nieces, nephews, and cousins. Dorothy was preceded in death by her: beloved husband and friend, Garland A. Makel, Jr. in 2005; mother, Emma Bruce-Ambush; father, Charles H. Ambush; brothers, Howard Ambush, Edward Ambush, and Richard Ambush; and sisters, Catherine Harris, Elizabeth White-Morris, Louise Harris, and Emma Duckett.
