In Loving Memory of Dorothy Paturzo
Sunrise: August 4, 1945 – Sunset: November 5, 2025
Dorothy Paturzo was born on August 4, 1945, and passed away peacefully at home on November 5, 2025, at the age of 80. Dorothy was a loving neighbor and friend to many while residing at Sadore Lane in the City of Yonkers, New York.
Dorothy was the devoted widow of Michael Tauber, the father of her children Tracey and Richie. She was blessed to find love again when she met and married her beloved husband, Raymond Paturzo. Dorothy was a cherished grandmother to Carly, Lucas, Summer, Merci, and Taiheim. She loved her daughter-in-law Danielle and son-in-law Trennard wholeheartedly. She was a loving sister and one of ten McGill children. She is deeply loved by her nieces,nephews, and Godchildren.
Dorothy was a Registered Nurse who delivered and cared for countless babies in her family and community. She was an inspiration to many and a true friend to all. She was one of the most selfless people, serving God's children with love and kindness.
Her children, Tracey and Richie, agree that God designed the perfect mother for them. They will forever be grateful for all her sacrifices, compassion, and tenderness. Dorothy made a lasting footprint on every life she touched.
