Dorothy M. Mantuano age 86, of Kenosha, peacefully passed away on Saturday, January 9, 2016, with her loving family at her side at Hospice House in Pleasant Prairie.

Born on December 15, 1929 she was the daughter of the (late) Fred and Helen (Chambers) Miller. She attended local schools and graduated from Mary D. Bradford, class of 1948.

Before Dorothy married, she worked as a secretary for Kenosha law firm, Lepp, Phillips, & Richards. In 1949, at a Sunday night dance at the Eagles Club, she met the man who would become her husband, Eugene “Gig” Mantuano. They were married on September 9, 1950 at Our Lady of the Holy Rosary Catholic Church. They celebrated 60 years of marriage before Eugene passed away in 2010.

She enjoyed winters in Arizona and even visited Italy a few times. She loved dining out, meeting up with family and friends, especially at her family’s restaurant Mangia Wine Bar.
