Dorothy Helene Pinder

Born on October 22, 1926, in Bridgeport, Dottie was the beloved daughter of the late Paul Gluck and the late Leah Gluck. She was the youngest of six siblings, a role she carried with warmth and quiet strength throughout her life.

A proud United States Navy veteran, Dottie exemplified dedication and service to her country and her community. She continued that spirit of service in her professional life, working at a pediatric clinic until the remarkable age of 94. Her commitment to caring for others touched countless lives over the decades.

Dottie was a faithful member of Hope Lutheran Church, where she found strength, fellowship, and joy. Her faith was a guiding light in her life.

She found happiness in life’s simple pleasures—reading a good book, sitting outside and enjoying the fresh air, and most of all, spending treasured time with her family. Her home was a place of love, laughter, and unwavering support.

She was preceded in death by her parents, and her beloved husband, Alvin Pinder. She is survived by her children: Ed Pinder (Cat), Steve Pinder (Doris), and Mark Pinder. She was a proud and loving grandmother to Ashley Marciano (Rudy) and Tanya Warhola (Mike), and a cherished great-grandmother to Christopher Warhola, Giulia Marciano, and Nicholas Marciano. Her legacy of love and devotion will live on through them.

The family extends their heartfelt gratitude to Dr. Ian Cawich and the compassionate staff at Encore Heart Hospital for their exceptional care and kindness.

Dorothy “Dottie” Pinder will be remembered for her strength, her devotion to family, her steadfast faith, and the gentle grace with which she lived her nearly century-long life. She will be deeply missed and forever loved.
