Dorothy was in her 60's when she decided to return to college to get her degree.

Dorothy had an amazing sense of humor. She was quick with a comeback in any situation and instilled a love of "puns" with her family. Dorothy loved to read and write, often writing stories that reflected some of her funny life experiences. She would never be without a book and in her later years she used her iPad to continue her love of literature.

Dorothy was a devoted, giving, kind and loving, mother to her 4 children, Donna Sciarretto (Anthony), John (Suwannee), Michael (Marianne) and Sharon (Greg). She has 10 grandchildren and 20 great grandchildren. She cherished the time spent with family, especially her many great grandchildren and loved to share stories of their lives and adventures! Dorothy made everyone feel special, listened to what they had to say, treated everyone as a friend and never said an unkind word about anyone
