Death Announced of Dwight Bartholomew, Graveside Service to be Held at Family Cemetery in Old Lyme

March 3, 2023 by Admin

PORT ANGELES, WA / OLD LYME, CT — A boundless spirit, Dwight was frequently bursting with accordion music and song. He was a son of the rich who’d climbed off the corporate ladder to teach gradeschool. At 90, he died of congestive heart failure on February 8, 2023, in his home in Port Angeles, WA.

He was born on March 8, 1932, at Sloane Hospital for Women, founded by his family in New York, to Dana T. Bartholomew, Yale Class of 1928, of Ansonia, CT. His mother was the former Adela Sloane Griswold, of W. and J. Sloane, and Griswold Iron Works.

Early years were spent in the family’s brownstone on Lower Fifth Avenue, New York City, NY, and summers at their compound in Old Lyme, CT …

Upon dying, he was covered by the flag of his favorite hockey team, the Montreal Canadians, and warmed by his cat.

Dwight is survived by his wife, Mary Ellen; brother, Andy; four children: Dana, Sterling, Sloane and Caroline; and his grandchildren:

… A Graveside Service will be held at the family cemetery in Old Lyme, CT. Date and time is still to be determined.
