Publish in a newspaper
Beloved wife of Thomas Breitkreutz for 18 years, whom she met within the Greek Orthodox Church.
Loving Mother of Constantine "Gus" (Sophie) Mamakos of Wexford and Christopher (Rachel) Mamakos of Forest Hills.
Adored Grandmother of Sophia, Jackson, Leo, Nico, and Oscar.
She is survived by her sisters, Sr. Mary Joyce, Margaret (Robert) Dworek, Eileen (Frank) Navish, Alice (George) Rinaldi, and her brothers, Robert Joyce, Thomas (Paula) Joyce, and James (Dawn) Joyce.
Also survived by several nieces and nephews.
A proud graduate of St. Francis School of Nursing, Dolly dedicated her professional life to providing care and comfort to those in need as a LPN at St. Francis Hospital. Dolly was a woman of deep Christian faith who lived a life of service and charity. She was a devoted mother not only to her own children but to all children and the needy, extending her generosity and care to various charities. Her love will continue to guide us, her spirit will remain with us, and her memory will forever be etched in our hearts. Dolly's life was a journey of love, and though she will be deeply missed, we take comfort in the promise that we will one day be reunited in the everlasting joy of Heaven.
