In Memoriam
Dora Gisiger McWhite
January 28, 1932 – August 1, 2026
Welcome to Dora's online memorial. Here, you'll find a collection of photos and remembrances of this truly wonderful-yet-understated wife, mother, sister, artist, friend, and neighbor. Should you wish to contribute something to this page, please contact me.
At their home in Baltimore in the 1930s, Dora at bottom with mother Ella. Father Paul stands with sisters Charlotte and Betsy.

L-R, Jack, Dora, Charlotte, Betsy, in Elkneck, N.J., 1940.
Baltimore, circa 1942. L-R, Jack, Dora, Paul, Ella, Betsy, Charlotte.
Boarding the SS America in 1947, moving to Switzerland. L-R, unknown, Jack, Ella, Paul, Dora, Betsy, and two unknowns. While the parents, Jack and Dora were making the move, the others were merely aboard to bid them farewell.
Jack, Dora, Ella, and Paul on an outing, given only as 'near St. Antonien.'
Portrait taken at the Photo Schaich studio in Baden, Switzerland. In 1949, obviously. Betsy and Charlotte were, presumably, visiting. The studio still exists, as FotoPro Schaich.
The photo on the left is known as 'The Heidi Photo.' But that's all I know. Don't know the year or the country. On the right, Dora is confirmed, per town custom, into the Swiss Reformed/Protestant church, May 1948.
L-R, Ella, Betsy, Charlotte, Dora, Jack, at the house in Switzerland, presumably also 1949, Brunnmattstrasse 5, Baden.
