Dorothy loved traveling with her husband and her family to Europe, the Islands and summer vacations with her grandchildren at the beach .  She enjoyed working in her flower garden. However her best talent and greatest joy was baking delicious cookies, pies, cakes and tortes! If she knew it was your Birthday, chances are she'd surprise you with a delicious Birthday cake.  Dorothy was dedicated to participating in the church choir and a very devout member of the Ukrainian Catholic Church . Her and our Father thoroughly enjoyed any Ukrainian Festival and traveled to Soyuzivka Ukrainian Resort where they could hear bands play polkas under the stars. Celebrating the holidays in her own cultural tradition was very important to her. Yet most precious, we honor her for instilling in us the importance of Faith and Glory to God! Friends will be received on Monday April 7, 2025 from 10:00 am until time of Parastas service at 12:00pm, BOHN-MATICH FUNERAL & CREMATION SERVICES, INC., 1099 Maplewood Ave., Ambridge.
