Not sure what to say?

My sincere thoughts n prayers are with you, Joan, and all of the Family. Dorene was a beautiful lady and seemed to be so kind helping others. I am SO glad you were able to be a part of her life, Joan. God Bless.


As a long time resident of Newburgh I got to know Dorene from the many events she took care of in our village. She will be missed dearly.

My sympathies to the entire Bode family.

Dorene was an incredible person. She devoted her life to public service. I admired her and she was my "go to member of council." After she directed the park dedication, she became my friend. I am amazed at her record of service in so many capacities. She has left a positive impact on the village, the Democratic Party, as well as the transplant & handicapped communities.
Kathleen M. Edwards, Former Mayor, Newburgh Heights

Grief can be so hard, but our special memories help us cope. Remembering you and your loved one today and always. She made a great impact on my life and you will forever be missed, Thursdays will forever be our day.

Dorene was an amazing person. To all the siblings goes my sympathy and hope for good memories to surface above the sad ones of late.
