Dorothy F. Ryzewski-Wilchynski

You will always be my big Sister and I will always love you and remember you the last time we were together. I know you are at peace now with Richie & all your friends.

Very nice Family, our condolences.

Sorry to hear of the loss of your beloved mother. With sincere sympathy, Ron & Andrea Esposito

Dorothy will be remembered for her kindness, her quick laugh, and her countless laps across the Gaylord pool while perfectly coifed, wearing a swimming bubble, and often, earrings. We weren't ready to have her go, but after her beloved husband passed, she spoke about wanting to be with him again. She was ready and she leaves a trail of love and memories behind her. Thank you for being my friend, Dorothy. Godspeed. - Jan Lyon

It was a joy to reconnect with Dorothy and John, discovering them as 'pool buddies' at Gaylord. My childhood family home in Hamden was 5 doors away from Dorothy and John's home. Because of the age difference, we worked out that I probably babysat for their children only once or twice. John is still missed by our pool crowd, and Dorothy will also leave a huge hole. Dorothy was much loved, and an example of grace and kindness for us all. With love to the family, Sharon Geil
