Dorothy Winifred Ciavarello of Stamford, CT passed away on June 26, 2019. Dorothy was born June 6, 1942 in the Bronx to Gustave & Winifred Weinert. Dorothy worked as a registered nurse at St. Joseph’s Hospital in Yonkers, Blythedale Children’s Hospital in Valhalla and she retired from Long Ridge of Stamford in Ct. Dorothy grew up in the Bronx where she was an active member of the Presbyterian church raised her children in Yonkers, and lived her later years in North Stamford Ct. Dorothy was caring, compassionate, and a born nurturer so it was only natural for her to choose a career in Nursing. Dorothy enjoyed boating with her friends in her earlier years, Traveling, casinos, gardening, and was an avid reader. But her biggest joy in life was spending time with her family and friends. There not was a person that met Dorothy that was touched by her kind and loving nature – she will be missed by all.
