Dolly was not only our neighbor but like a mom to me and grandmother to our kids. She was always so sweet and loving. She loved when I came over to show videos of my kids in their activities. I will miss her beautiful smile and kind heart. My love goes out to Jack and family.

I fondly remember Mrs. Roth as a wonderful teacher at St. Augustine’s. She shared her musical gifts to the great benefit of our parish, and her kindness served as a great Christian example to me. Wishing her family, especially my classmate Cindy, peace, knowing Mrs. Roth has earned her eternal reward with the Lord.

I have many fond memories of Dolly as my principal at St. Henry Grade School. She hired me as a young teacher paving my way into Catholic education. I am indebted to her for that – still working after 25 + years. She was so kind and supportive with a great sense of humor. She touched many lives in a positive manner. My sympathy to all of you.

Diane Diekemper, Belleville, IL, 62221


Roth family-please accept my sympathy. Mrs.Roth planted seeds of appreciation for music and visual arts, as well as taught embroidery sewing as my teacher at St. A’s. Her joyous spirit was warming. She gave much to many. Keeping you in prayer.
