Lena Dorff, 105, of Kenosha, passed away peacefully on Sunday, September 18, 2016, at home surrounded by her loving family. By praying the rosary daily and receiving the Holy Eucharist, in the form of the Body of Christ, Lena’s prayers were answered. She was able to live her final years at home and pass away quietly with no one looking into her eyes. Born in Kenosha on July 9, 1911, she was the daughter of the late Frank and Rosina (Marruca) Gelsone. In 1935 she was united in marriage to Peter Dorff, Sr. at Holy Rosary Catholic Church.

She enjoyed going to church at Holy Rosary on Sundays, where she had been a member her entire life. She was a member of the Holy Rosary Ladies Society as well. Lena was an avid ballroom dancer, spending time out on the dance floor until she was 94. Other hobbies of hers included knitting and crocheting.
