Dorothy Helen Pineau, age 96, of Three Rivers, passed away Wednesday, May 3, 2023 at Optalis Health and Rehab – Three Rivers.
She was born July 11, 1926 in Battle Creek, the daughter of Laverne and Marguerite Graves.
In 1950, Dorothy married William Pineau. The couple shared 34 years together before his passing in 1984.
She worked at Continental Can for about 20 years, making many friends throughout that time.
A kind and loving person, Dorothy enjoyed Beanie babies, teddy bears, and visiting with friends – especially those from her two decades at Erie Street Apartments.
Dorothy’s favorite baseball team was the Detroit Tigers; it was a special treat for her when they announced her 80th birthday on their scoreboard.
Remaining to cherish her memory are her sons, Gary (Gary Madak) Pineau and Michael (Kendal Atkinson) Pineau; daughters, Gloria Weber and Shelley Pineau; several grandchildren and great-grandchildren; special niece, Glenna Parker.
She was preceded in death by her parents; husband, William Pineau Sr.; and son, William Pineau Jr.
Dorothy will be laid to rest at Riverside Cemetery in a private family ceremony.
