Dorothy was a loving wife and a stay-at-home mother. She was an avid churchgoer and enjoyed walking to St. Timothy’s Church in Trenton when she was able. She also loved to attend her daughter’s fitness classes, participating till her mid-seventies. She enjoyed spending time and visiting with her grandchildren, it was one of her favorite things. She cherished all cards and drawings that her grandchildren made. She also would never turn down a good cup of tea. In her early years, her 7 children kept her busy, but she still had time to enjoy a monthly game of Pinochle with her girlfriends. Dorothy will be greatly missed by all who knew her and her huge family. We love you more. Memorial contributions may be made to the Alzheimer’s Association.
