Dear Sharon, Elaine, Bob, and family, Dorothy was such a special, kind, person who was your families’ rock. Everyone loved Dorothy. We are still shocked and feel the loss of her passing. I know how much she will be missed by everyone. She is truely an angel now. With sympathy and prayers, Linda and Tommy
Sharon, Elaine, Bobby, and family, I don’t even know what to say. Teti is so much apart of our family, as are all of you. She will be missed by all of us. She has always been there for my mom and dad as well as all of us Rujak’s. We all love her so much! I hope you find comfort and knowing she was a remarkable, loving woman and will be remembered dearly. Love from, Leah, Brian, Madison, and Derek
Teti I don’t know where to begin, you were like a 2nd mother to all of us and like another Baba to Milauna. We will always love you with all of our hearts and the memories we all shared will be remembered always. We love you Teti!!!!! Love, Michael, Shauna and Milauna
Dear Elaine, Sharon, Bobby and Family. Our deepest sympathy goes out to your whole family in the loss of Dorothy. How she loved her family. I met Dorothy when I started working at Weirton Steel, I soon met her whole family and loved your Mother Mary she was such a wonderful person. Dorothy was so generous and kind hearted person to everyone. We will keep you and your family in our prayers. May she rest in peace.
Dear Bobby, Elaine, and Sharon John and Juka’s get-together on Friday, the 22nd was wonderful and it is truly an especially good way to remember Dorothy. She looked beautiful and really tried very hard to enjoy herself. Everything everyone offered her she agreed to try, but I don’t think she ate a morsel of anything. I even told Lil that Dorothy looked better then she did. Her hair was done, nails, and she even had a pedicure. I am so sad about our Bubba party. Mitz and Sophia are limited in what they can do, and my sister Millie, Sally, Martha, and now Dorothy are gone from us. Dorothy was such a good person and your families were all so very dear to her. She will be missed by all of you and all of us too. Love to all and Memory eternal. Marie and family
Bobby, Elaine,Sharon, nieces and nephews — We are so sorry for your loss! Dorothy and all of you mean so much to our family. Dorothy was always there for mom and dad, just like all of you. It’s good to know we have so many good memories and shared times like vacation – Ocean City! She was not only Teti to your family, but she is Teti to each one of the Rujak’s grandchildren. We are all going to miss her – it won’t be the same the next time I get home. Wish so much that I could be there for you. I love all of you and you are in my prayers. Linda, Jordan and Jason Ogaz
Elaine and family, so sorry for your loss. Your in my prayers.
Elaine & family, Dorothy was such a kind and sweet person. When I worked with her at Weirton Steel she never had a mean word for anyone. She loved you all so much and enjoyed talking about her family. May her memory be eternal. Love, Martha
Dear Elaine and Family, I first met Dorothy and your Mom several years ago at the podiatrist I worked for at the time. She always had me laughing and I always felt she was such a sincere person. I enjoyed running into her around town and we always kidded each other. She will be sadly missed. A wonderful person, as I’m sure the rest of your family are. Love, Paula
Bob, Elaine, Sharon and family, Dorothy was the best neighbor and friend anyone could have. She was a part of our family as all of you have been. There wasn’t anything Dorothy wouldn’t do for anyone. We are so going to miss our dear friend. We feel so badly that none of us were there for you during the last six months. You have all been in our thoughts and prayers. All our love, Shirley, Bob & Bernice
Dear Elaine, Sharon, Bobby & Family Our deepest sympathy goes out to your whole family, and Dorthy’s many friends. I am thankful I talked with her the week-end of the SSF Festival. We have many found and fun memories of Dorthy.
I am so sorry for your families loss. I first met Dorothy when I worked at Mirabella Salon. She was an amazing, wonderful, funny woman. I always enjoyed spending time with her when she came into the shop. And the fact that I moved away and she would always ask my mom how I was doing when they ran into each other. She was a pure delight to have in life and she will be terribly missed. RIP Dorothy. Can’t wait to see you again.
Sharon, Michael, Bobby, I am so sorry to hear of Dorothy’s passing. Dorothy was a kind, caring person, to say the least, with a heart of gold. Take comfort in the fact that God must have needed her as he saw her job here was done. Helping your Mom raise her younger siblings, being a wonderful sister, and being a super Aunt. You have all had that blessing from her. And,I’m sure, she enjoyed and cherished every minute of it. Please accept my sincere sympathies. Jim
Dear Elaine, Sharon, Bobby & Family members, It is very difficult to live away from everyone and harder during these difficult times. Dorothy meant a lot to all of us, as do all of you. We have been sharing our memories of her…we will all miss her. I am grateful that I was able to see her when I was home in March. Our prayers are with all of you. Love, Lori, Pat, Patrick, Ashley, Allison, Preston
Bob,Elaine,Sharon and family, My deepest sympathy to your family of the loss of Dorothy. I can remember being at my grandmother’s house….Dorothy would come over & everyone sitting and talking on the front porch. Dorothy was a lovely lady and will be definitely missed by many people.You will be in my thoughts and prayers. May God’s blessing be upon you & your family…much love.
Dear Elaine, Sharon, Bobby and Family: Our deepest sympathy on the loss of your dear sister Dorothy. I know what it is to lose a sister as I have lost three. I have wonderful memories of Dorothy when we young and what a kind and caring person she was. Regrettably we sort of lost contact over the years with work and family responsibilities but she has always remained very special to me. My prayers are with all of you that Our Heavenly Father and it Holy Mother will bless you all with comfort and peace as you go through these difficult days and in the days ahead. I am sorry I cannot be at the funeral service but family responsibilities will keep me from being there. You will continue to be in my prayers. Josie

Dear Elane, Sharon, Bobby and family, It saddens me to hear of Dorthy’s passing. She was one of the most wonderful people that I knew. She will be missed. Memory eternal!
My heart goes out to you all. My how many years Dorthy and I have been friends. Can remember the first day she started working at Central Stores, the moment we met we were friends. I moved to Columbus and the last few years I have not been coming to Weirton but Dorothy and I every few months would talk for hour or so at a time, we never lost contact with each other. Oh how I will miss our talks and I can imagine your loss of one of the greatest women that ever was. She loved each and everyone of you, brother, sisters, neices nephews and Dorothy knew how much you all loved her. My thoughts and prayers go out to each and every one of you. The world has lost a funny, loving, giving, and beautiful human being. God Be With You All
Dear Uncle Bob, Teta Sharon, and Teta Trouble I love you all very much and I’m really sorry I can’t make it to the funeral because I just moved in, at WVU. But Teti really was one of the nicest people on this earth, and we will all miss her very much. Love, George Nicholas Martich
