TOLEDO, OHIO - Dorothy Taucher Hales, 87, of Toledo, Ohio formerly of East Liverpool, passed away Thursday, May 7, 2020 at Kingston Care Center of Sylvania.
Dorothy was born in Power Point, Ohio on February 23, 1933, a daughter of the late Jacob and Mary (Tursic) Taucher. She was a graduate of Lisbon David Anderson High School. A resident of the East Liverpool area most of her life, she worked as an operator at the former Bell Telephone Company and later worked for TCI Cable and CATV.
Dorothy loved to travel, play bingo, do puzzles, take walks outside in the beautiful gardens, and watch the ducks in the pond. She was most happy when spending time with her family.
