A lifetime resident, Dorothy was born in Racine on October 24, 1920, to the late Amil and Elisa (nee: Ricchio) Arcuri. On April 27, 1946, in Holy Name Catholic Church, she was united in marriage with the love of her life, Chester Richard Sadowski.With a profound Catholic faith, Dorothy was a long-time member of Holy Name Catholic Church, where she was active with the Christian Mothers and Altar Sodality. When she and Chet moved to the Northside of Racine many years ago, they became members of St. Rita Catholic Church. As a tireless homemaker, she loved nothing more than being in the surroundings of her entire family. Dorothy enjoyed knitting, sewing, cooking and sharing her scrumptious homemade cookies with family and friends throughout Racine.

In addition to her parents, Dorothy was preceded in death by her sister, Bernice (George) Jansta; brother, Rev. Frank Arcuri SJ; and brother-in-law, Douglas Hammes.
