Dorothy Eckenrode Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Walker Funeral Home on Mar. 11, 2026.
Dorothy L. Eckenrode went to meet her savior and her dearly beloved husband Francis on 03/09/2026. Born 08/28/1925 in Johnstown, PA, she was a daughter of the late Catherine (Sykora) and Mark Stublarec.

Dorothy worked for Armour & Co in Johnstown, PA. She married Francis and moved to Geneva, OH. Her hobbies were playing BINGO, Solitaire and doing search-a-word puzzles. She loved to polka and dance. She loved her flowers. She also enjoyed decorating the entire house for the holidays with her loving husband, Francis. Dorothy had a great personality and sense of humor. She had a heart of gold and a great love for her faith, church and friends. She was willing to help you when you were in need of anything.

Dorothy was preceded in death by her husband; six brothers, Ode, George, Mark, Mike, Emery and Steve; Sisters: Helen Pfeil, Valeria Margaret Scublarec and infant sister, Bernadine.

A big thank you to her good friends, nieces and nephews. Her favorite nephews were Carl and Donald Ellsworth and niece, Becky Ellsworth-Smock. Carl was her Godchild and the three of them were there when she needed them. They were God-sent to care for her.

Calling hours will be from 5:00–7:00 PM on 03/18/ 2026 at Walker Funeral Home, 828 Sherman St., Geneva.

Mass of Christian Burial will be at the Assumption Church on 03/19/2026 at 11:00 AM with Fathers Francis and Donnelly officiating.

Burial will be at Evergreen Cemetery, Geneva.

Contributions may be made to Assumption Church or the charity of your choice, or a mass to be said in her honor.

Dorothy, we met because your Francis was a Knight of Columbus.
Enjoyed the few visits you and I shared. You were an all around wife for Francis. You are know with our Lord Jesus.
