UPCOMING ESTATE SALES

Calibrie Lowcountry Estate Sales is honored to present the estate of the late Dorothy Kronemer

 

"Dorothy Kronemer was born poor. Her father abandoned the family when she was only six and she grew up in a Western Pennsylvanian manufacturing town that was dying around her.  Her mother made a desperate move across the state in search of work, and Dorothy took her first job unloading IBM computer equipment from freight trains on the midnight shift. Seeing her then in her dirty overalls and work gloves, few would have guessed where she was headed. But Dorothy was inspired by the stories of self made people, and especially Helen Gurly Brown, the trailblazing editor of Cosmopolitan magazine, who started life with similar disadvantages. Dorothy adopted a personal motto: live with purpose, passion, and mission. She rose quickly. First trading her work gloves for a clipboard managing the warehouse. Then into an office role, and eventually into IBM's pioneering division for outsourcing computer services. She traveled the country negotiating multimillion  dollar contracts, and ultimately became a Senior International Negotiator, living and working in more than 50 countries. Many of the artworks, objects, and furniture in this sale come from her global journey. In retirement, Dorothy poured her energy into community service, eventually becoming a skilled auctioneer who helped raise millions for charitable causes.  Even in death, her generosity endures—the bulk of her estate will go to support the charities she championed in life."  

 

We would like to thank Dorothy's brother, Alex, for this brief description into her amazing life.
