Dorothy Rafanelli Obituary
We are sad to announce that, on December 23, 2025 we had to say goodbye to Dorothy Rafanelli (Elmhurst, Illinois), born in Chicago, Illinois. You can send your sympathy in the guestbook provided and share it with the family.
In the vast expanse of eternity, may Dorothy find peace everlasting, cradled in the gentle embrace of the universe. And as we stand on the shores of remembrance, may her legacy inspire us to live each day with purpose, passion, and profound gratitude for the gift of life itself.
She was predeceased by: her husband Robert S. Rafanelli; her parents, Libbie Vistine and Emil Vistine; and her sister Gladys Zwierczyk (late Ted). She is survived by: her children, Robert J., Richard E. Rafanelli, Nonne of Anna, Cara and Robbie. She is also survived by nieces and nephews.
In lieu of flowers, donations in Dorothy's memory to the Alzheimer's Association would be appreciated.
