THRON, DOROTHY J.

THRON, DOROTHY J., 68, of Cape May Court House, knocked on Heaven’s door on Monday, October 7, 2013 at AtlantiCare Regional Medical Center City Division. She was born in Camden and moved to Cape May County almost 50 years ago from Deptford. Dottie enjoyed bowling and was on the Board of Directors for the USBC Local. She was also a Den Mother for the Boy Scouts. Her greatest enjoyment came from the time spent with her family and friends that became family to her. She had a big heart for those that knew her. Once you met her, she became a beloved Mother to you as well. Everyone called her “Mom” or “Gram”. She loved the family gatherings and was the life of the party. Mom is survived by her children, Jack Pfaff, Jr., Laura Cirillo (Jamie), Traci Gianakopoulos (Tom), Charles Pfaff (Anne), Dawn Bailey (George), and William Thron (Stephanie); her companion, Thomas Graff; her sisters, Florence Dugan and Charlene Rogers; 14 grandchildren; 11 great grandchildren; and a large extended family of nieces, nephews, great nieces, and great nephews. She was preceded in death by her husband, William H. Thron. Funeral services will be held on Saturday, October 12, 2013 at 12:00 p.m. at the Radzieta Funeral Home, 9 Hand Avenue, Cape May Court House, where viewing will begin at 10:00 a.m. Interment will be in Cold Spring Presbyterian Cemetery.
