Dorothy (Rohaly) Havrilko, of Bethlehem passed away January 22, 2026, at Elm Terrace in Lansdale. Born February 17, 1930, in Scranton, PA, she was the daughter of the late Anna (Matazewski) and George Paul Rohaly.
Dorothy graduated from Scranton Technical High School and during those years worked part-time at Woolworth's counter service. Dorothy worked years in the offices at Sears and had a lengthy career at Northeastern Bank until her retirement.
A dedicated member of St. Nicholas RO Church in Bethlehem, she valued her many friendships while volunteering making perogies and assisting in the church kitchen. Previously, she was a member of SS. Peter and Paul RO Church in Scranton.
In addition to her parents, Dorothy was predeceased by her husband of 70 years, Paul Havrilko; sisters Irene and Elizabeth; and brothers, George and Paul.
Dorothy is survived by her children: Deborah (Michael) Slaboda, Paul (Ann Marie) Havrilko, and Judith (Nicholas) Lezinsky who provided devoted care. She will be lovingly remembered by her nine grandchildren--Michael, Melanie, Kyra, Matthew, Peter, Alexa, Carissa, Juliana, Ava--and eleven great-grandchildren.
Honoring Dorothy's wishes, services will be private for the family. Memorial contributions may be made to St. Nicholas RO Church, 980 Bridle Path Road, Bethlehem, PA 18017.
