WARREN — Dorothy V. Trombitas, 94, passed away on Saturday, Sept. 24, 2022.
Dorothy was born Nov. 8, 1927, in Warren, the daughter of the late Simeon and Theresa Moyer.
Dorothy graduated from Warren G. Harding High School in 1946 and was a self-employed seamstress, a profession she enjoyed for over 40 years.
Her greatest joy in life was spending time with family; she never missed an opportunity to host them or travel to join the family. She was passionate about gardening and loved the spring and summer, when she could nurture flowerbeds.
Dorothy was keenly interested in her local community and was a lifetime member of Holy Resurrection Romanian Orthodox Church.
With her late husband, John Trombitas Sr., she was instrumental in the incorporation of Lordstown Village. She also enjoyed many years volunteering for the Trumbull County Board of Elections, where she appreciated the opportunity to greet and assist the local people. In her later years, Dorothy supported veterans and knitted blankets for the Cleveland veterans’ home.
Dorothy will be missed by her sons, Simeon Trombitas, and his wife, Kellie Snyder Trombitas of San Antonio, Texas, and John Trombitas Jr. and his wife, Mary Trombitas of Clearwater, Fla.; three grandchildren, Paul Trombitas and his wife, Nichole, Simeon Trombitas and Erin Ludwig; five great-grandchildren, Colin and Olivia Trombitas, and Aislyn, Christopher and William Ludwig; sister, Marian Mermer; and niece, Dorian Mermer.
Dorothy was preceded in death by her parents, and her husband, John Trombitas Sr., to whom she was married for 59 years.
A viewing will be held 10 a.m. to noon Thursday, Sept. 29, 2022, at Lane Funeral Homes, Roberts-Clark Chapel, 180 Garfield Drive NE, Warren, OH 44483, followed by a funeral service at noon.
