Publish in a newspaper
The daughter of the late Doris and Arthur Boo, she was born on December 3, 1943 in Brooklyn, NY.
Dori found her spiritual home at Sparrowbush United Methodist Church, a place that nourished her faith and community ties. Born with a motherly heart, she extended her care to everyone around her-always checking that her family was "okay" and offering comfort with her trademark concern. Her greatest joys came from life's simplest pleasures: camping trips with her adored grandsons. Dori's legacy lives on in the countless lives she quietly steadied with her steadfast love and the memories made around campfires with her boys.
In addition to her parents Dori was predeceased in life by her beloved husband
Alfred E. Houghtaling III, brothers Arthur T. Boo Jr with his wife Janet and Michael Boo. Also her brother in law John Chisari and nephew in law Edward Oriani.
Devoted mother of Carol Ann Tunney with her husband John. Beloved grandmother of Joseph & Colin Tunney with his wife Deniene. Dear sister of Martha Chisari, Patricia Paul, Roberta Quinci her husband Emil, Fred Boo, Kenneth Boo his wife Linda and sister in law Edda Boo. Cherished aunt of Tammy Oriani along with many other nieces and nephews.
The family will receive guests on Sunday 8/10 from 12:00 to 12:30PM at the Sparrowbush United Methodist Church 44 Main Street, Sparrowbush, NY. A Memorial Service will begin at 12:30PM at the Church with Pastor Amy Garrett officiating. Following services the family wishes for everyone to join them at the Sparrowbush Volunteer Fire Department for a continuation of celebration for Dori's life - most especially if you are unable to attend the Church.
