Dorothy McCort Obituary
She was born in Cleveland Heights, Ohio in 1924 but spent most of her years living, working and raising her family in the Akron area. She was a member of St. Paul Catholic Church for over 60 years and was most recently a member of St. Andrew the Apostle Catholic Church in Norton, Ohio. She was active in the Firestone Park Seniors, St. Paul Ladies Guild and a member of Our Lady Rosary Makers. She spent much of her life volunteering her time and endless energy to local charities, especially the Interval Brotherhood Home. She enjoyed her family, her card games and an occasional gambling trip.
She was preceded in death by her parents; her husband of over 56 years, Raymond; her grandsons, Jeffrey McCort Jr. and Eric Steinborn. She is survived by her children, Jeff, Ken, Pat, Marj and Steve; six grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren.
Rest in peace, mom.

Dear JEFF,KEN,PATTY,MARJI AND STEVE. Our deepest sympathy at the loss of your mother. Don,t know if you remember us but we were long time friends, from ST.Pauls and were married about the same time. Dorothy and I went to Mass at St Johns at 6am Mass together when all our children were little. Catherine Klinger keeps me informed about all our AKRON friends. Ray played golf with Bob on one of our last vvisits. Both Ray and DORTHY WILL BE MISSED. YOU HAVE BEEN WONDERFUL TO YOUR PARENTS.

Dear "kids" of Dorothy - I came to cherish her as a friend, and will miss seeing her when I visit Akron with Ev. I love the picture from the obit, her sweet smile. We appreciated her making the effort to attend Tom's services, and are sorry we won't be able to attend hers. I will be there in spirit. Love and prayers, Barb
