Spring Lake resident Dorothy M. "Donnadella" Pastorelli died Sunday, Dec. 7 at her home.
"Dottie" was born in Canonsburg, Pa., on July 9, 1918. She was one of 10 children and the daughter of the late John Pagano and Marietta DiCicco. She and her husband lived in Edison prior to moving to the Jersey Shore in May 2000. After a brief career, Dorothy met and married the love of her life and husband of 66 years, Tally Pastorelli, and devoted her life to being a wife and mother. Her most treasured moments were those spent surrounded by her family and the music she loved.

Dorothy deeply loved her family and made a loving home for them and her large group of friends.
