Dorothy Mary Gross

Mrs Dorothy Gross, age 88, passed away peacefully on Saturday July 8, 2023.
Dorothy was born on December 25, 1934 to Sam and Katherine Gresock. She married the love of her life, Donald Gross, on April 24, 1954. Dorothy was a graduate of St Vincent's High School. After graduation, she worked at The Firestone Tire & Rubber Company. Besides her love for her family, Dorothy was an avid fan of the Cleveland Indians and as a child, went to countless games with her family. She also loved being able to ride the train as a child, since her father Sam worked for the railroad.
She was preceded in death by her husband Donald, her daughter Theresa, her son Stephen, her grandson Nick, her great-grandson Aiden, her parents, her sisters Kay and Helen and her baby brother Robert. Dorothy is survived by her children Vincent, Michael (Vicky), Patrick (Darlene), Barbara (Craig), Cecilia (Tom), and Susanne, along with 20 grandchildren and 21 great grandchildren, and son-in-law Paul.
