Dorinda M. Burrows, 90, died at her family home in Poquonnock Bridge, Conn.,  on Oct. 27, following a prolonged illness.  She was buried Oct. 30 next to her husband of 65 years, Belton A. Burrows, in a private ceremony at the Benjamin Burrows Cemetery on Fort Hill.

Born in Newport, R.I., June 26, 1921, Mrs. Burrows was raised in Buffalo, N.Y., and graduated from Columbia-Presbyterian School of Nursing in 1943.  As well as raising six children, she pursued her love of art.  Starting in the 1960s, she studied with Barbara Swan and others, and as an artist, she had a unique way of expressing herself through her artwork using many different techniques (drawing, oils, watercolors).  She developed a particular interest in printmaking.  For many years she was a member of the group Partners in Printmaking based at the DeCordova Museum in Lincoln, having many individual and group shows, including one in Ireland and another in France.

Mrs. Burrows and her family spent summers on Abrams Hill in Duxbury for over 50 years. She was a resident of Brookline for 57 years where she was  a member of the Church of Our Savior and remained active in community affairs including trusteeships at the Park School and the Goddard House.

Mrs. Burrows leaves six children, Calvin, Warren, Ellen, Emily, Sarah and Allyn; 13 grandchildren, including a namesake, Sadie Dorinda, who was born 12 hours before she died; and one great grandson.

In lieu of flowers, donations in Mrs. Burrows’ memory may be made to the DeCordova Museum, Lincoln, MA.
