Memorial trees planted for:

Dorothy J. Gertsen

<p>Dorothy Jane Gertsen, nee Rajca, age 76, beloved wife of 57 years to Randall: loving mother of Steven (Michele), Christopher; cherished grandmother of Jayden, Katherine, Sydney; special friend of Clyde. Dorothy Gertsen, known for her sharp intellect, boundless love for Disney, and her unwavering persistence, brought light to every room she entered. Her quick wit and sense of humor left everyone smiling, and her legendary good luck—whether at bingo or just in life—was nothing short of remarkable. Dorothy had a generous heart, always giving to those she loved, especially during her favorite time of year, Christmas. Her spirit was as vibrant as the adventures she cherished, and her memory will continue to inspire those fortunate enough to have known her. Visitation Friday, October 4th, from 3:00 until 8:00 pm at Modell Funeral Home, 7710 South Cass Avenue, Darien, where chapel service will be held 7:30 p.m.…. Interment private.</p>
