November 14, 1956 - January 25, 2023
Dorie Tate, age 66, began her celebration of life on Wednesday, January 25, 2023 in Helena-West Helena, Arkansas. She was born on November 14, 1966 in Providence, Rhode Island to the late William and Dorothea (Dottie) DeVito. Dorie was the most unforgettable spirit anyone could be blessed to cross paths with.
Dorie was a 1975 graduate from North Providence High School. After graduating, despite wanting to pursue a career as an automotive mechanic, she studied cosmetology at the Rhode Island School of Cosmetology. Dorie loved adventure and pursued all things that caught her attention. Some of her careers included cosmetology, teaching, housekeeping, hospitality, auctioneer, mentorship, & last but most definitely not least, she was a librarian.
In 1989, she met Will and the two were attached at the hip from that point on. Dorie and Will were married for over 23 years and had 1 child together, Nykole, she was also blessed to love Brandon, Brittney, & Tony.
Dorie is survived by her husband Will, daughter Nykole, sister Debora, cousin Joan, best friend Lori, beloved cousins, and dear friends. Dorie will also be missed by her newfound stray cats that quickly became close to her heart.

Will and family,
I am so very sorry for your loss of Dorie. One of the nicest ladies I have ever met. Anytime you saw her , she had a smile on her face and always would speak. She was one of a kind. Prayers for you all.

Dorie was a great friend who was always able to make me laugh! She had such a warm personality and I loved to hear her talk, I called it her Rhode Island accent! She will be missed. My thoughts and prayers are with Will and Nykole.
