Dorothy was born August 29, 1929, in Youngstown, the daughter of the late George and Mary Klacik Henik and was a lifelong area resident. She graduated from Chaney High School and worked as a secretary at Strouss' for 25 years and then went to work at Bank One for five years before she retired. After retiring, Dorothy embraced a new role as a hostess at Burger King on Mahoning Avenue for 13 years, where she enjoyed meeting new people.

She was actively involved in the Catholic War Veterans Ladies Auxiliary John J. Buckley Post, the Austintown Senior Center, and the St. George Croatian Lodge Senior Citizens.

Her life revolved around her family. Dorothy loved cooking for Thanksgiving and Christmas, and hosting cherished Sunday dinners at her home. She also found joy in tending to her flowers, which brightened her home.
