Dorothy Chuchla Obituary

Dorothy was my first friend when my family moved next door to hers in Chicago. We played dolls together and discovered boys together. She was such a happy upbeat person who was well liked by so many people. Dorothy, you were taken way to early. God has gained another angel.

What a beautiful person Dorothy was. Her smile and positive attitude were contagious. As a former coworker of Dorothy's and friend, I feel honored to have known her. She was truly a ray of sunshine to those who knew her. She is an angel with the Lord now.

So sad to hear of her passing, rest in peace my fellow McCordian.

Dorothy was a grammar school classmate of mine at Assumption B.V.M. in West Pullman. She was on our prayer list at St. Raphael in Naperville.
I was so saddened to hear of her death - my parents are also at Holy Cross, so I will make a point to visit the next time I am in the area. I remember her goodness and her smile - she was kind to all!

I remember Dorothy well from my time at St. Victor. My heart and prayers go out to the family. Rev. Thomas E. Cima

Not just a friend but more like a sisterr. Always there when you needed her. We will miss you and love you always.

May Dorothy rest in peace. Her smile just lit up a room - a gentle, loving soul. You will be missed. Loved being at the Christmas cookie exchanges with you and getting to know you a little.

It was once written that " is not the years in your life that count. It is the life in your years." Dorothy, you gave all of us so much in your friendship. I am so glad that you were a part of my life for the past 36 years. You were always there for everyone. I think you may have been the first one to the pod but we will all get to enjoy it as we had planned in the future. We will miss you dearly. Rick Steerzer

Such a terrible loss. My condolences to the family. May God's peace be with you.

Love, hugs and lots of prayers go your way, Ed & Patty and all. We've been a few of the prayer warriors and will continue to lift all of you up! Peace, Kathy & Joe & family

Our sweet Dorothy brought such JOY into people's lives, such energy, such spirit ! A life lived too short. So sad & tragic for all of us. But Dorothy, I know you are in Paradise making Jesus laugh and smile (& Chuckles) just like you did always for all of us. GOD BLESS YOU, sweet Dorothy, forever & always ! Much love to dear friends Marie & George & family.

Dorothy was one of the first McCordians that I got to know when I moved to Chicago. She was always helpful, thoughtful, and a lot of fun to be around. It's sad to know that she's been taken from this life as such a young age.

Our deepest sympathy. Fond memories of growing up together. Always have a special place in our hearts.

We here at STIHL appreciated Dorothy's work tremendously and enjoyed being in touch with her not only for business over the last years. The shock we felt ran deep and we hope that she is now home and found peace.

Dear Ed and Pat, I was so sorry to hear of the loss of your sister, my families thoughts and prayers are with you and the boys

Reading the sad news or Dorothy's passing left me speechless. I will always remember her as an incredibly kind, caring person. The first time I talked to her was back in 2005 and we had a strictly business relationship. Over the months and years I came to consider her more a friend who cared more for others than for herself immersing herself in work. I hope she found peace and am thankful our lifepaths crossed.

It was a privilege and joy to know Dorothy. Her thoughtfulness, kindness and generosity will never be forgotten. She became part of our family through her dear friend, my sister-in-law, Marie. May all who loved her find God's peace and solace at this time. And Dorothy, I promise to make your "Little Cheese Cakes" often! xo Mary Ellen Grenchik-Kouris

I was so sad to get the news today of Dorothy's death. She was a great co-worker and friend during the years we worked together at McCord, and she has been taken from us entirely too soon. May she rest in peace.

It was a pleasure to work with you and to know you. May God wrap his loving arms around your family and friends to give them comfort.

I met Dorothy when I was growing up and life took us separate paths. Through the grace of God, we were reunited later in life and I will cherish those memories forever.

God May Rest Her Soul In Peace.

I will miss Dorothy always. Her friendship means so much to me. I'm blessed to of had her in my life and now to have the memories we made. She touched so many lives.
Rest in Peace sweet friend.

Celebrating a life well lived but cut short in her prime of life. We will cherish the memories forever. I will always have a reminder of our friendship a small figurine of 2 little girls on a bench sharing laughter, smile. Dorothy gifted me with this memento after a dear cousin went HOME after a courageous fight!!! So now I have this precious reminder of them both. My deepest sympathy to the family and a wish that God hold you close during this journey and bring you peace. Blessings, Pam Vargo, McCord

So glad we spent time together the week befor I moved away from Chicago. You were in such good spirits and we had such a nice visit and to think that was only May. I was so hing you would come and stay wi us this winter. But you are in a paradise for all eternity and that is a wonderful thing. Only problem is we miss you.

I truly believe God bring people into our lives for a reason or season. Dorothy share her season with all us all. She will be missed. Please accept my condolences....

Much love and many prayers accompany Dorothy. I will always remember her with great fondness... always such a kind and sweet nature which she shared with all of us. Her spirit was infectious, and her smile lit up the room, and the world, to be sure. Thank you Dorothy, for YOU. I trust that you are at peace in God's arms. Rest in His gentleness. My sincere condolences to Pat, Ed, Jon, Bethy, Katie, and Brian. My love is wrapped around each of you.
Love, (Auntie) Cindy

For we will never understand the plans that God has for each one of us...but we trust that He loves us and knows what is best. My deepest condolences, thoughts and prayers to each of you...my heart is with yours at this most difficult time.

Dorothy was a joy, full of love and a passion for what she did. We didn't get to see each other often, but when we did it was like seeing her just the day before! She will be missed. Love you, MB

My condolences to Dorothy's family. Heaven is a brighter and happier place now that she has returned home. May she rest in peace. You will be missed. Dorothy!

The other day, God called. He said he wanted his servant back. Too bad for the rest of us. My condolences to her family.

My deepest condolences to Dorothy's family and friends. Dorothy and I worked together at Carson Pirie Scott Travel for my 1st travel job, then she followed me to McCord. Lots of fun memories and a few travels with my friend. She will be missed by so many. I will miss her deeply. Much love, Jody (Heyn) Prunty (Sophie's Mom)
