Dorothy L. Adams 1934-2025

Dorothy was born Aug. 1, 1934, in Youngstown, a daughter of the late Steven and Elizabeth M. Molnar Shirilla, and was a lifelong area resident.

She was a graduate of Liberty High School and dedicated her adult life to raising and caring for her family. Dorothy also worked for the Trumbull County Recorder’s Office for over 20 years, retiring in the late 2000s.

Dorothy truly enjoyed baking for her family and friends, especially her famous clothespin cookies. Her greatest joy came from the time she spent with her loved ones, particularly her grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

Left to cherish Dorothy’s memory are her children, Diana (Robert) Hogg of Lordstown, Rocky (Dawn) Adams of Hubbard, Kim (Mark) Gennaro of Hubbard and Tim Adams of North Carolina; her daughter-in-law, Elaine Adams of Aurora; seven grandchildren; eight great-grandchildren; and many extended family members.

In addition to her parents, Dorothy was preceded in death by her son, Chris Adams; her sister, Helen (Nick) Marsh; and her brother, John (Elizabeth) Shirilla.

Private services were held at Kinnick Funeral Home in Youngstown.

Dorothy will be laid to rest in Belmont Park Cemetery in Youngstown.

Dorothy’s family suggests memorial contributions may be made in Dorothy’s name to the Residents’ Activity Department at Countryside at Elmwood, 871 Elmwood Drive, Hubbard, OH 44425.
