Please share a memory of Dorothy to include in a keepsake book for family and friends.
Dorothy Katherine Smorol, 89, of Westvale, passed away on February 20, 2015. Dorothy was born on March 22, 1925 to Frank and Mary (Henchen) Himpler of Solvay. Dorothy graduated from Solvay High School and will be lovingly remembered as a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, and friend. "Mrs. Akkoul" was the long-time crossing-guard at St. Charles School in Westvale, a post she proudly served for many years. Later, Dorothy gave friendship and comfort to many as the receptionist at St. Camillus Rehabilitation Center. Music always filled Dorothy's home. She was an accomplished pianist as well as a talented seamstress. Dorothy enjoyed bowling, golf and playing cards – especially bridge and pitch. Her greatest joy was entertaining family and friends at her home. Dorothy was predeceased by her husbands, George Akkoul and Raymond Smorol; son, Ronald Akkoul; sisters, Thelma Himpler and Mary Louise Storie, and brother, Frank Himpler.
