Obituary
Eldora “Dorree” Jean Gedekoh, 60, of Elizabeth, passed away peacefully at home on January 6, 2025. When she wasn’t cooking or spending time with her husband by the pool, she spent most of her time lounging at home with her beloved dogs, watching her TV shows, and hanging out with her cousin Mirt and best friend Cheryl. She had a love for big family gatherings and holiday celebrations, and the family Christmas Eve party was always her favorite. More than anything else, she was a loving and devoted mother and grandma. Born April 29, 1964 in McKeesport, she was a daughter of the late John Christian and Alyce Fay (Fine) Gedekoh Jr. In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her sister, Robin Sleith.
