I attended Passaic Valley High School, Little Falls, NJ, with Dottie (Amento) Machuszek from 1953 through 1957; thereafter Dottie and I met regularly with a small group of fellow PV classmates from Little Falls, Totowa, and West Paterson (now Woodland Park) for almost 70 years, always keeping in touch, despite a couple of fellow classmates moving to PA and another to FL! We all shared so much with each other throughout all those decades; and through the years our kids even developed friendships with each other! The first classmate in our little group that we lost was Barbara Winkler Ward (COVID) who was originally from Little Falls and then moved to Totowa (not far from Dottie) after both Dottie & Barbara each had married. It's nice to know that Dottie had so many friends and relatives (including Barbara Winkler Ward) to welcome her to heaven. So we are left with countless wonderful memories of Dottie. I can recall when I was recuperating from an illness, years ago, of Dottie delivering a very tasty supper for me to help me recuperate -- she was indeed a fantastic cook, which we all benefitted from so very often!!!!!!!
Rest In Peace, dear friend, you will be missed greatly!
