Dorothy C. Molloy, nee Vetrini, passed away on October 11, 2021, peacefully at home in Monmouth Beach. She was born in Bayonne, NJ in 1924 to Angela and Cesare Vetrini.
She was predeceased by her husband, Joseph who died in 1971, her sister, Emma Pederson, and her niece, Joan Coffey.
Surviving are two daughters, Dorothy Porter, and her husband James of Wheaton, Illinois and Betty Degnan, and her husband Tugger of Monmouth Beach with whom she lived. Dorothy was blessed with six grandchildren, Kelly Treshock and her husband Tom, Joseph Degnan and his wife Lisa, Elizabeth Kaleta and her husband Rob, Agnes Post and her husband Josh, James, and Charles Porter. She was also blessed with eight great-grandchildren, Thomas, Grace, and Jimmy Treshock, Ethan and Shane Degnan, Steve Archer, Meliya and Marriana Porter. Gee was loved by a grand-nephew, Jay Coffey and his wife, Susan and a grand-niece, Janine Hammer and her husband, Keith. She was also loved by her great-granddog, Belle.
Dorothy grew up in Bayonne, graduated from Holy Family Academy, and worked in her parents’ businesses for many years. She began working for McCrory’s in Jersey City in 1984 and retired shortly before moving to Monmouth Beach. Here, she assumed her most important job, caring and nurturing her great-grandchildren.
Although Dorothy (Gee as per her grandchildren) enjoyed the family activities, she was never happier than at the “Let It Ride” tables in Atlantic City. She had many fun bus rides to AC with her dearest friend, Grace Cancalosi, as well as Friday night dinners, bingo, and Canasta card games. As she aged, her trips by bus became less frequent but the day trips became overnight stays with family member chauffeurs. Gee visited a few of the casinos as often as possible and got to know many of the dealers. She was a part time slot player but only when “the cards changed”. Along with her gambling activities, she attended Shore basketball games, tennis matches, and swim meets to cheer for her great grandchildren’s teams.
Gee was abundantly wealthy in all that matters in life, family and friends. With her passing we have lost the last member of the Greatest Generation of our family.
To them all….. Requiesce In Pace!

Eatontown Memorial Student is 10,000th Child to Benefit from Free Vision Screening by New Jersey’s Eatontown Lions Club The Eatontown Lions Club began its sixth year of vision screening with a bang on Thursday, September 14, 2023. As a result of partnering with the Eatontown and Ocean Township School Districts the Lions club provided the 10,000th free vision screening. On Thursday in recognition as the 10,000th screening recipient, Ashton Vassor, an eighth-grade student at Eatontown’s Memorial School, was given a citation and gift card from the Lions Club. Ashton has been screened annually by the Lions since second grade. Also given a Lions Club Certificate was Memorial School Nurse Lucy Craig, one of the first Eatontown School District nurses to collaborate with the Lions when vision screening began in 2017. She was Ashton’s school nurse at Meadowbrook School when his vision was first screened. Working in conjunction with school nurses, vision screenings are done annually by the Eatontown Lions in September and October for students in Pre-K through 8th grade. “We really appreciate your help as well as the support of the Lions. Your work and partnership with us make a difference. The vision screening process as well as the resources the Lions provide to our students if a vision problem is discovered help our students to be in a better position to learn and succeed. Thank you.” said Scott T. McCue, Superintendent Eatontown Public Schools More than 12 million school-age children in the United States have some form of vision problem. Many vision problems run the risk of becoming permanent if not corrected by the time the eye reaches full maturity. Vision also plays an important role in education. According to educational experts, 80 percent of learning is visual. “Early screening leads to early detection, which helps ensure that children get the follow-up care they need,” said Club President Linda Butler. “We want to make sure that cor
