Dorothy W. TousignantFood, Nutrition Specialist

Dorothy Wiltamuth Tousignant, 88, a food and nutrition consultant for banks, colleges and military establishments, died Aug. 27 at Arden Courts care facility in Silver Spring. She had Alzheimer's disease.

Mrs. Tousignant was born in East Moline, Ill. A graduate of the University of Illinois, she received her master's degree at Fitchburg State College in Massachusetts and interned at Walter Reed Army Medical Center.

During World War II, she was a food and nutrition specialist with the Army Medical Service Corps and served in India, New Zealand and elsewhere in the Pacific.

She later founded her own food services company, D.W. Tousignant & Associates, whose clients included American Security Bank, Catholic University and The Washington Post.

In the 1980s, her firm ran the YWCA cafeteria and had a contract to bake chocolate chip cookies for the women's organization. The business at one time sold 1,200 chocolate chip cookies a day.

"Zillions of people have tried to copy the recipe," she told The Post in 1983. "But it is a tricky little cookie. There's a lot of chemistry that goes into developing the taste, texture and color."

Mrs. Tousignant resided in Washington for more than 60 years before moving to Silver Spring this year. The couple also had a home in Middleburg for many years. She was a member of St. Alban's Episcopal Church in Washington.

A daughter, Carmen Wall-Toussignant, died in 2000.

Survivors include her husband of 59 years, Leonard A. Tousignant of Silver Spring; a sister; and two grandsons.
