She is finally home. Mrs. Dorothy Prino passed peacefully on May 25, 2025.  Born on September 1, 1933, Dorothy led a life full of faith, love, generosity, and warmth, which touched everyone she met. Dorothy's presence was an embodiment of a welcoming spirit that made even strangers feel immediately at home around her.

With her unfailing faith, Dorothy constantly led by example, demonstrating the power of prayer in everyday life. She fervently shared with those around her the importance of turning to prayer and strengthening one's belief in God in times of rejoicing and strife, a lesson that will continue to influence generations to come.

She is preceded in death by her husband, Eugene Prino, her sons, Johnny and Robert Prino, her daughter, Nancy Sue Prino, and one brother, Merlin Lee “Speedy” Sitze and one son-in-law, Bryce Lewer.

She is survived by her daughters, Grace (Gene) Custer, Dorothy Lewer, Darlene (Doug) Schott, Carol (Robert) Horn, and her son, Michael (Melody) Prino. She is also survived by her twenty (20) grandchildren,  forty-five (45) great-grandchildren, and ten (10) great-great-grandchildren

A memorial service honoring Dorothy's remarkable life will be held on June 28, 2025, at 2:00 PM at Old Bethel Baptist Church. We invite all those whose lives were touched by Dorothy to join us in this celebration of her life, sharing stories, memories, and prayers in her honor. 

In lieu of flowers, the family is requesting a donation be made to 'Helping Hands Ministry', a group that was started at Old Bethel to help assist those in need, a cause that was dear to Dorothy.
