Dorothy Agnes Molnar
Dorothy Agnes Molnar, 90, of Orange, passed away on February 21, 2023. Born on June 12, 1932, in Hackensack, New Jersey, she was the daughter of the late Joseph and Marie (Fredericks) Rossin.
Dottie was a 1950 graduate of Milford High School and attended Connecticut Teachers College in New Britain. She left college early to marry her high school sweetheart, George Molnar, on December 26, 1953. After George completed his time in the U.S. Navy, the couple returned to Milford to start a family. Dottie worked as a bank teller at Connecticut Bank and Trust in Bridgeport for a short time before becoming a full-time mother and homemaker.
Dottie then turned her energies to volunteer work, first with the Orchard Hills PTA, then as a Cub Scout den mother and as a Girl Scout leader. Later Dottie would become a volunteer at Milford Hospital and was particularly proud of the more than twenty years she served there. Dottie was also committed to her faith, becoming a CCD teacher at St. Mary's parish in Milford and then becoming a Eucharistic Minister at Holy Infant Church in Orange. For years she and a team of volunteers cooked turkeys for the Community Soup Kitchen of New Haven. Dottie was an avid reader and loved games, especially Scrabble and card games. She was a lifelong, ardent fan of both Notre Dame football and the New York Giants (even through the horrible Yale Bowl years).
Dottie is survived by her loving son, George A. Molnar Jr., and his wife, Kris, of Athol, Idaho, and her daughter, Marcy Mangels and her husband, Paul, of Milford. Dottie was also the proud grandmother of Tamara Molnar of Kansas, Justin Molnar of Colorado, Jeff Mangels of California and Nicole Molnar of Idaho. In addition to her parents, Dottie was predeceased by her husband, George.
