Dolores Ann Perko (Trosino), lovingly known as Dee, passed away peacefully on February 3, 2026 at the age of 89, surrounded by her loving family.
Born in Chester, PA on January 11, 1937, she spent her life devoted to her family. She was the proud matriarch of a family that grew through her care, strength, and unwavering love. Nothing brought her more joy than time spent with her children and grandchildren.
Dee graduated from Notre Dame High School in 1953. She went on to build a long and dedicated career as a secretary and executive administrator, where she spent the majority of her professional life at Fronefield and DeFuria and Wyeth Pharmaceuticals. Most enjoyably, she took great pride in helping her husband grow his business at Raymond C. Perko, Inc.
She will be remembered for her fierce loyalty, her love of piano, cooking, watching her favorite shows, and her knack for organization. Her presence was a steady comfort, and her love was something you could always count on.
Preceded in death by her parents William and Cecelia Trosino.
She is survived by her loving husband of 68 years, Raymond Perko, her brother Paul Trosino, her children Cindy (Denis) and Jeff (Jan), her cherished grandchildren Brendan (Alexis), Tori, Kylen, Brian (Annelisa), Matthew, Dylan, Cecelia, Isabella, and many loving family members who will carry her memory forward.
Family and friends are welcome to attend funeral services on Monday, February 9, at St. Joseph’s Catholic Church, with visitation 9:30-10:15 a.m. and Mass at 10:30 a.m. Burial at Saints Peter and Paul Cemetery will follow.
She will be deeply missed and forever loved.
