DOROTHY SCHENCK Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Oct. 5, 2009.
DOROTHY ANN SCHENCK, passed away in Visalia, CA., on Sept. 28 after a year-long fight with cancer. Dorothy was born in 1942 in Cleveland, OH., to John and Helen Miklas. She moved to Lakewood, CA., after her high school graduation and joined the Southern California Gas Company, where she worked for 35 years until her retirement from the Gas Company's Visalia office. Dorothy is preceded in death by her parents and is survived by her loving husband, Steve Schenck; son Eric Benko of Tulare; daughter Holly Vettori (Damon) of Santa Rosa; and brother, Steve Miklas of Cleveland. As Dorothy was a member of the Neptune Society, there will be no service, but memorials will be held in Visalia and Cayucos at a later date.

Ron and I are saddened by the loss of your sweetheart, lover, and soul mate. Although we never knew Dorothy well, we knew she was the light of your life. When I saw the two of you recently at the drug store, I knew she wasn't well. It was displayed in your eyes and hers. Our thoughts and sympathies go out to you Steve. We can only imagine what you are feeling. We are here for you if you need us. Ron and Suzanne Clevenger

I am so sad to hear this news that I don't know what to say! My heartfelt sympathies to her family! If I could make it all better I would. I didn't even know of her struggle with cancer, so this comes as a surprise. This woman made my dad so happy for many years, and for that I am grateful. I AM SORRY I was a wedge between the two of you!
Our deepest thoughts are with you Dad, I LOVE YOU DADDY.
