Dorothy Bollock Obituary
Gates - Born April 28, 1922, the daughter of Jennie and William Scouten, passed away at home on December 24th, at the age of 98.
Dorothy was predeceased by Joseph, her loving husband of 78 years; her sister, Corrine White, and brother, Bill Scouten.
She is survived by two daughters, Marilyn (Chuck) Newell and Carol Marron; sister, Norma Robeson; 8 grandchildren: Kristin (Danny) Kildea, Kurt (Christine) Catalano, Lisa Rizzo, Marty Marron, Kelley (Adrian) Myers, Matthew (Julie) Marron, Michael D. Marron, and Andrew (Andrea) Marron; 17 great-grandchildren, as well as many nieces and nephews.
Dorothy loved her family and weekly dinners with them. She was proud of her years as a Crossing Guard at St. Helen's, of being a member of St. Theodore's Rosary Society, years of water ballet and countless gifted crocheted sweater sets.
A special thank you to all of her Rummy buddies, and to her caregivers, Kelley and Sheryl who kept her smiling. Special thanks also goes out to our heroes of the U of R Hospice team.
