Peacefully, on Thanksgiving, Nov. 25, 2021, at the age of 86, Dorothy
entered into the eternal life of the Resurrected Jesus Christ. Loving
mother to Fr. Joseph B. Codori Jr., Parochial Vicar of Archangel Gabriel
Parish in McKees Rocks; Sandra (Harry) Paclawski of Franklin Park;
Gregory Codori, Linda Codori, and Teresa Codori, of Emsworth; dear Nana
to Andrew Paclawski and Thomas Paclawski; beloved wife of 59 years to
the late Joseph B. Codori Sr; loving sister to Edward (Ann) Wintermantel;
sister-in-law to David M. (Debbie) Codori, and devoted daughter to the
late Edward and Grace (Hammer) Wintermantel. Dorothy's greatest loves
were her family, her many friends, and her Catholic faith. She was a
long-time parishioner of Sacred Heart Church, Emsworth, where she was an
active member of the Ladies Auxiliary and the parish Altar Society.
Dorothy also served as Eucharistic Minister and Sacristan, but is best
remembered for organizing the annual flea market for over 30 years. In
addition to her involvement with Sacred Heart Church, Dorothy was a
long-time member of the Community Club of Emsworth and was a faithful
volunteer to Meals on Wheels. Early in her career, Dorothy worked as a
Supervisor and Observer for Bell of PA, a job she loved. After she
married, she devoted herself full-time to raising her five children
while taking an active role in her church and community. Dorothy’s
sweet, kind and gentle spirit made her loved by all who knew her. She
was an amazing mother, whose deep love for God shined through her
beautiful blue eyes. She loved and guided her family until the very last
day of her life, and will remain in our hearts until we are all together
again in eternal life. Immediate family members only will be received at
Lawrence T. Miller Funeral Home, Inc., Bellevue. Family and friends
invited to a Mass of Christian Burial to be celebrated at Sacred Heart
Church, on Wednesday, December 1, 2021 at 11:00 am. Memorial
contributions may be sent to Sacred Heart Church, 154 Orchard Avenue,
Emsworth, PA 15202 to be used for mass intentions for the healing of Fr.
Joe Codori.
