Dorothy Ann (Mrdeza) Bokulic

Dorothy A. Bokulic, 85, of Silver Spring, Maryland passed away on October 3, 2018.

Dorothy grew up and attended school in Duquesne, Pennsylvania, received her registered nursing degree from Western Pennsylvania School of Nursing, and then married Frank J. Bokulic on June 7, 1958.  They lived in the Pittsburgh area, then for several years in Paris, France until Frank retired as a Master Sergeant from the U.S. Army in 1965.  They then settled in Joppatowne, Maryland where they raised their family.  Dorothy worked as a registered nurse in the operating room at Greater Baltimore Medical Center and as a school nurse in Harford County, Maryland.

Dorothy loved her family, her close friends, her Catholic religion, her Croatian heritage, and golfing.  She played in various golf leagues until age 80, after which she participated in putting tournaments at Riderwood Senior Living Community.

Dorothy was preceded in death by her husband Frank in April 1988.  She is survived by her three children, Robert Bokulic (Laurie) of Columbia, MD, Jay Bokulic (Peggy), of Ashburn, VA, and Christine Myers (Eric), of Potomac, MD.  She was blessed and so proud to have seven wonderful grandchildren:  Matthew, Brian (Katie), Michael, Zachary, Annie, Katie, and Benjamin, with one great grandchild on the way.
