Born in Queens, NY, Dorothy attended St. John’s University. After college, she taught grade school and, after relocating to Maryland, continued to teach grammar school before embarking on careers in public relations and banking administration. Dorothy also worked for many years as a volunteer at her local hospital in several capacities.

Dorothy raised her family in Garden City, NY and Kensington, MD. She spent many summers on the North Fork of Long Island, New York, both when she was young and throughout her lifetime. She loved to garden and could often be found outdoors. Dorothy inherited her mother’s gift of creativity and enjoyed painting, needlepoint, sewing and baking.

Dorothy was adventurous. She loved traveling and was known for her impeccable style and irreverent sense of humor. She loved to read, take long walks, spend time with her children and grandchildren and watch tennis.
