Dorothy Goldenthal, 94, widow of Jack Goldenthal, passed away on Friday, December 24, 2010. Dorothy resided in West Hartford and spent many winters in her Florida home.

The family wants to express their appreciation to the entire staff at the Hebrew Home and especially the staff on 3 South as well as the Hebrew Health Hospice, all who were ever so supportive throughout and at this very difficult time! A graveside funeral service will be held at the Emanuel Synagogue Cemetery in Wethersfield on Sunday, December 26, 2010, at 11:30 AM.

What would my childhood have been like without Dotty and Jack? Swimming in the pool in the backyard of King Phillip Drive, playing Canasta on Mayfair Court, being at my birthday parties, graduations, and always there for me with a listening ear. I know Dotty is playing Canasta with Jack, Bill and Lynette as I type this. My warmest regards to the family.
