Dottie, 79, passed away peacefully at home in Kearney, MO on October 25, 2020, surrounded by her children. She was born in Jersey City, NJ to parents Lydia and Otto. Raised in Kearny, NJ, she helped run their family business, Otto’s Bakery, and graduated from Queen of Peace High School in 1959. Dottie worked for nearly 30 years at NKCHS in Northtown. Forever a “Hornet”, her loyalty, generous smile, “Jersey” attitude, boundless energy, and sense of humor brought joy to all who crossed her path. She never missed a trick and enjoyed good wine, shopping for unique treasures, showing her love through food, and being “down the shore” when in NJ. Dottie is survived by her four children Andrew (Stephanie), Barbara, Jennifer (Felix), and John (Kristina); grandchildren Jeffrey, Jared, Devin, Sarah, Colin, Caroline, and Nicholas and eight great-grandchildren; siblings Lynn and Alfie; niece Linda, nephew Bobby; two great-nephews, and one great-niece. She is predeceased by beloved husband Richard, son Anthony, brother Richie, nephew Ray, and parents Lydia and Otto.
