Obituary of Joyce M. Dobrowolski

Joyce M. (King) Dobrowolski "Elsie", age 94, of Brookhaven, PA, formerly of Essington, PA, died peacefully at her daughters' home on Sunday August 24, 2025.

She took great joy in baking, always sharing her treats with family and friends. Joyce had a deep passion for crafting, especially drawing, painting, and crocheting, and found great joy in creating beautiful things with her hands.
