Doris M. Bohnhorst, 90, of Jamison, formerly of Massapequa Park, New York, went home to be with her Lord on Monday, May 2. After a long and courageous struggle with paralysis, Doris passed away at St. Mary Medical Center, where she received excellent care and personal comfort from all of her health-care and hospice providers.

Doris was born in 1920 in Utica, New York, to Catherine and William Black. Her ten brothers and sisters preceded her in death, Leo, Billy, Donald, Peanuts (Thomas), Joe, Henry, Julia, Alice, Bess, and Kate.

Doris was the beloved and devoted wife of Herman (“Barney”) F. Bohnhorst, who she married in 1950 in Amityville, New York. In addition to her husband, Doris is survived by her daughters, Carol Bohnhorst of Plainsboro, New Jersey and Gail Dubowe, of Jamison; and her son-in-law, Mark Dubowe. She will be missed by her daily animal companions, Katie and Enzo, and her beloved Siamese cat, Callie.

Doris enjoyed reading the newspaper every day and following the news on TV, gardening, long walks at Jones Beach Park, and trips to Atlantic City. Doris began her career in the medical field as a laboratory technician at Faxton Hospital in Utica and later worked at Brookhaven National Laboratory, on Long Island, where she met her husband-to-be. She spent the latter part of her career at Brunswick Hospital in Amityville, where, as a blood bank specialist, she dedicated herself to patient safety and quality health-care issues. Throughout her entire professional and personal life, Doris was a devoted caregiver to her family and friends. Visits to people who were ill, trips to hospitals and nursing homes, and special prayers were a daily part of Doris’ desire to help individuals who needed support during difficult times.

Doris’ final advice- which she shared with everyone- was to walk every day because she truly believed that being able to walk was a divine gift. Her confinement to a wheelchair in the last years of her life was a severe hardship, and she often suggested that when you see someone in a wheelchair, take the time to stop and say hello and ask them how they are doing.

Gertrude L. “Gert” Fody died on April 22, 2011, at Neshaminy Manor in Warrington, PA. She was ninety-three years of age.
She was born in Brooklyn, New York on August 20, 1917, the daughter of George E. and Margaret Curtis Johnston. Gert was a former resident of New York, before moving to Doylestown in 2007 to live with her late step-son Theodore J. Fody, who died on July 5, 2010.
Gert was a gregarious and vivacious person who loved life and the people around her. In 1960 a love story began, Gert was working as a bank teller and as fate would have it, Steve Fody, a widower, who owned a restaurant around the corner, made certain that he dropped his deposits off at Gert’s window. They soon fell in love and were married on August 20th, 1960. They made their home in New Hyde Park, New York, where they were stalwart parishioners at Notre Dame Church. Their other interests include the Knights of Columbus, where Gert was a member of the auxiliary. She loved to travel throughout Europe and North America.
After the death of Steve on June 22, 1986, Gert continued her membership in the Golden Age group of the Knights and a second Golden Age group at Notre Dame Church. Gert was undoubtedly one of the most proficient practitioners of the “Chicken Dance”, which she performed primarily at wedding receptions, to the delight of those present. One of her favorite hobbies was to solve jigsaw puzzles; one was always in progress in her living room. Another was the collection of Hummel’s with a mantel piece teeming with the little statuettes.
Although when Gert married Steve who had two sons, she was far from the usual perception of a step-mother. She was welcomed and accepted as an integral part of the Fody family. She became mother, grandmother and great grandmother. She leaves a step-son, Edward, his wife, Ann, ten grandchildren and twenty-two great grandchildren.
Relatives and friends are invited to attend her Funeral Mass 11:00AM on Thursday, April 28, 2011 at Our Lady of Mount Carmel Church, 235 E. State St. Doylestown, PA 18901. Interment will follow at St. John Neumann Cemetery, Chalfont.
