Dorothy W. Fahlquist
Loved life, lived for 101 years
Dorothy W. Fahlquist, 101, homemaker and former resident of Barrington for 60 years, died Wednesday, April 12, 2000, at United Methodist Elder Care Center in East Providence, where she had lived for the past three years.
Mrs. Fahlquist was the wife of the late Frank E. Fahlquist, and daughter of the late Earl D. and Lillie (Lakey) Armstrong 
Born June 12, 1898, she had two younger brothers. As a teenager, she was diagnosed with rheumatic fever and doctors feared she would not live for many years, nor would she be able to bear children. She proved them wrong.
Mrs. Fahlquist moved to Barrington in 1938, just before the Great Hurricane. She was left-handed and, as a young woman, the regular "womanly" tasks like sewing were difficult for her. Her parents sent her to a technical school in Providence where she could acquire a trade. There she met the quarterback of the football team and her future husband, Frank Fahlquist.
She also met six special friends who, along with her, called themselves the "SAMBA" girls and remained lifelong friends, most living well into their 90s. They played cards together well into their elder years and even though the numbers on the cards grew larger, they laughed and enjoyed the friendship through the years. 
Mrs. Fahlquist wanted to go to college, but her parents could only afford to send her two brothers. Therefore, she sought knowledge through books and read everything she could. In fact, she worked at the public library and nearly lost her job as a result of cutting her hair, which in the '20s was quite unusual for ladies. She read the newspaper every day. 
She learned what materials were considered classics and read them all. She fervently read the Bible and learned about history. She enjoyed staying abreast of current events and sports and was a master of the game "Trivial Pursuit."
Mr. and Mrs. Fahlquist were philanthropic. They contributed regularly to their church, Barrington Congregational, and were involved with the PTA and the Boy Scouts of America. When her two sons were sent into battle in World War I, she was active with the American Red Cross. 
Mrs. Fahlquist is remembered fondly by her grandchildren, who recall days of playing cards with her and learning the history of the family. They recall that she smoked a cigarette once a year and never missed her after-dinner drink, activities that seemed out of character and quite humorous. Her relatives can be traced back to Roger Williams and were documented well by her own mother.
She didn't enjoy cooking; however, others enjoyed her culinary masterpieces. A favorite was a meringue layer cake she prepared with whipped cream and cherries. 
Whenever Mrs. Fahlquist would come upon someone celebrating a birthday, whether she knew them well or not, she would lay her hands upon them and offer a simple wish, "All hail this day. May your life be full of roses, and few thorns."
She leaves two sons, Earl W. Fahlquist of Warwick and Davis A. Fahlquist of Bryan, Texas, and five grandchildren and six great-grandchildren. She was the sister of the late Clinton L. and Donald D. Armstrong. 
Arrangements for her funeral service were by the Smith-Mason Funeral Home in Riverside, and a private graveside service was held in Princess Hill Cemetery on Monday, April 17.
