Remembering Dorothy Jay, 58

LEVITTOWN, NY — Dorothy Jay was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, niece, sister and friend. She left this world too soon on Aug. 17 at the age of 58.

Dorothy was predeceased by her mother Elizabeth Delouker (Carlson). She is survived by her husband Alan Jay, her children Michael McGrady (Shannon) and Jackie Kaller (Nick), her father Louis Delouker Sr., siblings Debbie Delouker and Louis Delouker and four grandchildren: Blake, Luke, June and Frances.

Dorothy was born on Sept. 23, 1962 in Flushing. Along with her husband and children, she relocated to Florida in the early nineties, where she worked as an office manager in a plumbing company and as a bookkeeper for a private school. Dorothy was extremely family oriented and viewed her greatest accomplishment as raising her children and being “Gigi” to her grandchildren. Her four grandchildren were her real pride and joy, and they knew it. She spent a lot of time with them and is leaving them with many happy memories.

Dorothy was an easygoing woman who was fun to be around. She loved to laugh and tried not to take life too seriously. She truly loved people and was very generous with her time and affection. Everyone who knew Dorothy would say that she radiated warmth and could make a stranger feel like a close friend. She will be deeply missed by family, friends and all who knew her.

The family will be hosting a celebration of life at a future date, to be announced on Facebook.
