NORTHBOROUGH

Dorothy Ann Torok, 85, passed away peacefully at Marlborough Hospital in the early morning hours of Wednesday, February 26, 2025. Dorothy was born in Milford, raised in Hopedale and Natick and was a 1957 graduate of Natick High School. She relocated to Northborough in 1970. Dorothy worked numerous years as an assistant buyer for Raytheon Corporation. She enjoyed caring for her home, tending to her flower gardens and crafting. She also very much enjoyed exploring antique shops and stopping to explore the potential hidden treasures of a yard sale. Dorothy enjoyed a simple life. She had a friendly and outgoing personality and if in the mood, could be quite chatty.

Among those surviving Dorothy is her son, Mark W. Stoddard of Northborough; her daughter Lori Andrews ( husband Scott) of Douglas; her grandson Thomas Andrews; her siblings Janet Bayer, Butch Nelson of Georgia and Robert "Bobbie" Nelson of Florida. Dorothy was preceded in death by her husband Kenneth Torok in 2017; by parents Stanley and Marjorie (Boucher) Nelson and by a sister Jeanne Marshall.

Following Dorothy's wishes, all services will be private.

Arrangements are under the care of Hays Funeral Home, 56 Main Street, Northborough. To leave an online condolence please visit www.HaysFuneralHome.com.
