Dorothy Chiariello

CHIARIELLO - Dorothy, age 87, of Glen Cove (formerly of Roslyn Harbor), passed away on March 16, 2023. She was predeceased by her loving husband, Gerald, in September 2022 and is survived by her three children, Dominic (Elizabeth), Gerald, II (Alyse) and Nicole O'Connell (MJ). She was the Queen Bee who never said no to her eight adoring grandchildren, David (Sarah), Sarah, Julia, Talia and Gianna Chiariello, and Michael, Dylan, and John O'Connell.

She was truly the “doyenne of domestication” and dedicated her life to caring for her family. She loved hosting family events and other gatherings and decorating the house for every season and holiday. She was always “dolled up” and ready to have fun. She was active in the St. Francis Hospital Guild, and in her younger years frequently appeared in plays at St. Mary’s Church and as an extra on the soap operas All My Children and Ryan’s Hope. Her loss will truly leave a void in all our lives.
