She met Joe, the love of her life, and married him in 1957. She was a stay-at-home wife who raised 5 children: Joseph (Kate O’Neill), Ann Pruskowski (Stanley), Marie Kairys (John), Teresa Carp (Robert) and Christopher (Traci). She was the proud grandmother of nine and great-grandmother of seven.
Dorothy grew up in Philadelphia, Pa, moved to Plymouth Meeting, PA, and lived for the last 36 years in Boulder, CO. She enjoyed cross-country skiing, gardening, quilting and reading. Dorothy was a member of Sacred Heart of Jesus Catholic Church. She will be sadly missed by family and many friends.
