Dottie was born and raised in Great Yarmouth, Norfolk, England where she met, fell in love with and married her husband, Paul. Shortly after getting married, she moved to Paul's hometown of Trenton, NJ where they raised their three daughters. She was very active in SS Peter & Paul parish and TBPA (Transatlantic Brides and Parents Association) which kept her connected to her English heritage.
She loved spending time with her English girlfriends and traveling home to England as often as she could, loved vacationing in Florida and her time down the Jersey shore.
Everyone who knew Dorothy saw her as caring, kind and loving, a great mom to her daughters and their husbands and a wonderful nana to her grandchildren.
Friends and relatives are invited to her funeral masses at St John the Evangelist Catholic Church, Viera, FL on Friday, March 21st at 11:00 am and at St Ann Catholic Church, Lawrenceville, NJ on Friday, March 28th at 10:00 am followed by Catholic burial at SS Peter and Paul Cemetery, Hamilton, NJ. On July 13th there will be a celebration of life in her hometown of Great Yarmouth, England.

Dorothy (Nana Dot) as we affectionately called her, was a sweet, kind, and gentle, English lady.
When my youngest was a toddler, she always showed him love and was amazed at all his curls. All the kids referred to her as Nana because she was like everyone's grandma.
While we are saddened by her passing, we know, she is in heaven probably enjoying a proper cup of tea and a scone, at least that's the way I choose to think of her. RIP Dot. With Love, the Tubelli family
