Dorothy J. (Chorey) DeFelice age 91, formally of McKeesport, died November 5, 2020, at Independence Court in Monroeville under the care of Allegheny Health Network Hospice. Born November 27, 1928, in McKeesport, she was the daughter of the late John and Anna Sandusky (Samudovsky) and wife of the late Ralph T. DeFelice.
