Dora was a loving wife, strong mother, and cherished Nana. She was a devoted woman of faith and known for her sweet spirit. Her kindness wasn’t just in her words, but in the quiet ways she cared. She loved spending time with her family, sneaking candy to the kids, cooking, traveling, playing ball, and collecting jewelry. She had an eye for beauty, a great sense of humor, and had many memories to share. She is now home with the Lord; Heaven has gained a beautiful angel. Nana will be deeply missed and remain forever in our hearts.
