Dorothy Barron

On October 1, 2011 Dorothy Marie (Trombly) Barron succumbed to a long illness and is at peace. She is finally reunited with her husband Bernard and son Richard. Dorothy was born in Lasalle, MI to Benjamin and Ethel (Munson) Trombly on August 17, 1930. She attended Monroe High School. She married Bernard Barron on July 30, 1949. He preceded her in death on December 7, 1991. She was employed in the wait-staff and domestic care field for most of her life, working for Mrs. Prudence McIntyre for over 25 years. Dorothy’s greatest interests and most intense joy came from being with her family. Nothing pleased her more than cooking a big meal for everyone and playing cards or board games with them afterwards. She also enjoyed trips to Las Vegas, New York City, and local casinos. In addition to her husband and her son Richard, who died in 1968, she was preceded in death by her father Benjamin in 1972, her mother Ethel in 1986, her brother Donald in 1972, her sister Arlene in 1976, her sister Betty in 2007, two daughters Betsey Barron in 2004 and Francis Yanez in 2006, and a grandson Samuel Castellese in 1994. She is survived in death by five children, Ronald (Debra) Barron, Roger (Julie) Barron of Sylvania, Brenda (Terry) Pulcheon, Barbara Barron, and Daniel (Wallace Glenn) Barron of Atlanta. She also leaves behind 25 grandchildren, 35 great-grandchildren, 6 great-great-grandchildren, a brother-in-law Ralph Lieto, a son-in-law Gilbert Yanez, and her loving canine companion Mickie Sue, who stayed by her side night and day. Visitation will be held on Monday from 4-8 PM and Tuesday from 1-8 PM in the Bacarella Funeral Home, 1201 S. Telegraph Rd. in Monroe where a Rosary Service will be held on Tuesday evening at 6:00 PM. On Wednesday, October 5, 2011, Dorothy will lie in state at St. Michael The Archangel Catholic Church from 10:00 AM until Mass of the Resurrection celebrating her life at 11:00 AM. Fr. Stephen Vileo, pastor of the church, will officiate. Interment will follow at Roselawn Memorial Park. In lieu of flowers, the family will make charitable donations in Dorothy’s name to Hospice and the Cancer Society.
