Dorothy E. Klein

Dorothy Elizabeth Klein loved the Lord with all her heart. On Tuesday May 21st, with her whole family by her side, Dorothy returned to her heavenly home. Dorothy was born in Brooklyn, New York on August 3, 1936. She is the daughter of Victor H Ghiselene and Laura O. Ghiselene. Her devotion to her family and her firm belief in God made her a wonderful mother, wife, grandmother, and friend. She was the kind of person that would do anything for you if you asked and she never met a stranger. God and family meant the most to Dorothy. On her spare time, Dorothy enjoyed going to the show with her Grandchildren, fine dining with her family, playing cards with her friends, and shopping. She was always the life of the party kind of gal. She donated her time and money into the things that made her happy such as donating to charities and organizations that help many people. This woman was phenomenal! She did so much for our family and will be missed dearly. In 1954, Dorothy married her high school sweetheart James S. Klein and has been her lifelong partner of 65 years. Dorothy is survived by her husband Jim, 4 children, Mike, Tim, Joe and Laurie as well as her 5 grandchildren Emily, Audra, Lindsay, Melissa and Arron. Dorothy loved the lord and her grandchildren more than life itself and to know her was to love her and she will leave behind a legacy of love for the lord her husband and her family.
