early passing, Dorothy began her career at Monroe #1 BOCES in the Accounts Payable department. She retired after many years of service to enjoy more time with family until her illness made it too difficult to do so.

The family would like to thank the doctors, nurses and staff at Rochester General Hospital’s Hematology/Oncology Unit. The care and compassion Dorothy received during her final days will always be remembered.

Deepest sympathy to Jim, Carin, Mark & grandchildren. I worked with Dorothy at BOCES. Her love for her children & grandchildren knew no bounds. We spent many happy times together i.e. Marks wedding, meeting the infamous Aunt Rose etc. Before Jim, when we would go out together my husband would introduce me as his wife and Dorothy as his girlfriend. So sorry for your loss.
Mark, Amy and family. I’m so sorry to hear of your mother’s passing. You are in our thoughts and prayers. May your beautiful memories bring you comfort. Carol and Billy

My cousin Dorothy was always there for me during tough times as a young adult. She was my mentor in many ways. I admired her quiet , humbled intelligence and unconditional support. She was a special woman and will be greatly missed. My sincere condolences to all who loved her.
