Dorothy Picarelli (nee: Mackiewicz), 73, of Forked River, entered into eternal rest on October 13, 2019 at Beth Israel Hospital in Newark, NJ. “Dotti”, as she was known by all, was born in Bayonne, where she resided for many years before settling in Forked River two years ago. Prior to her retirement, she worked as a lab technician for the ICI Corporation in Bayonne, a position she held for over 20 years. While living in Bayonne, Dotti was an avid bowler and league player. She found contentment in crocheting and took great pride in her completed projects. Some of her favorite activities included Wii-bowling, and playing bingo and cards with her circle of friends at the Heritage Village. Dotti was predeceased by her dearly beloved husband, Ciro (in 2009), her parents, Frank and Tessie (Hojnacki) Mackiewicz, and her brother, Frank Mackiewicz Jr. Left to cherish her memory are her loving and devoted children, Renay Riddle and husband Craig, Valerie Iskowitz, Michael Iskowitz and wife Bernice; her brother, Robert Machiewicz; and her two adored grandchildren, Dino Forst Jr. and Gabriella Iskowitz. Relatives and friends are invited to attend a visitation at the Dworzanski & Son Funeral Home on Thursday, October 17, from 5:00 to 8:00 pm. Cremation will be private. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Dorothy’s memory to the American Heart Association. Envelopes will be available at the funeral home. “A Beautiful Life” A beautiful life That came to an end, She died as she lived, Everyone’s Friend In our hearts a memory Will always be kept, of one we loved, and will never forget
