Dorothy M. Bogardus, 90, formerly of Pomeroy Manor on East Deming Street, died Wednesday at Berkshire Medical Center.

She had resided at Mount Greylock Extended Care Facility for the past two weeks.

Born July 20, 1914, in Saco, Maine, daughter of Harry and Harriette Northrop Miles, she graduated from Old Orchard Beach High School in Old Orchard Beach, Maine, in 1932.

She also graduated from the School of Fine Applied Arts in 1938, and from the University of Maine with a degree in the history of art.

She was a member of the Quota Club in New Haven. She moved from North Branford, Conn., to Dalton in 1988.

She loved to travel. A 21-day trip to China was her favorite, as she enjoyed Chinese art and culture immensely.

She leaves a sister, Betty-Jean Bent of Dalton.
