Publish in a newspaper
Born on April 4, 1932, Dorothy spent her life pouring love into her family. She created a home where everyone was welcomed; a place filled with laughter, family traditions, and countless summer days spent together in the backyard.
Dorothy was preceded in death by her husband, Alexander Roach, her son, Gary, and her granddaughter, Renee Kelly.
She is survived by her sons Michael and Edward (Carmella); her grandchildren Christopher (Marisa), Michael (Kimberly), Melissa, Joshua (Bailee) and Shawn Kelly; great grandchildren Guiliana, Angelina, Sofia, Maximus, Elektra, Stella and Asher; and many beloved family members who will forever feel her absence.
She will be remembered for her honesty, humor, and the way she made every person feel deeply loved. Her legacy lives on in the hearts of all who were lucky enough to know her especially her family, who will carry her spirit forward.
There will be a visitation on Monday, November 3, from 9am-11am, at GARDNER FUNERAL HOME - RUNNEMEDE.
Memorial Service to follow at 11am.
Interment, New Saint Mary's Cemetery, Bellmawr.
