Dorothy Brutman

Dorothy L. Brutman, 73, of Bridgton, passed away at home on Thursday, June 14, 2018, after a courageous battle with cancer.

She was born on July 20, 1944, in Brooklyn, New York. After spending summers in Maine since she was two years old, in 1989 she decided to make Bridgton her permanent home.

Dorothy had a passion for antiques, collecting so many New England treasures that, in 1992, she decided to open her own shop, Hidden Brook Antiques. She enjoyed the antiques, but she more enjoyed the relationships with the many people she met in her shop and at auctions.

She leaves behind her children, Laura Brutman, Lynn Brutman, Jennifer (Brutman) Jundi, and Paul Brutman, along with Lynn’s partner Matthew Price, Jennifer’s husband Todd Jundi and Paul’s partner Leanna Herrick. She was the grandmother of four grandchildren: Hannah Brutman, Emily Jundi, Ella Jundi, and Aiden Brutman.

A private family service was held. Donations may be made to the charity of one’s choice. Arrangements are under the care of Chandler Funeral Homes & Cremation Service, 8 Elm Street, Bridgton.
