MARION -- Dorothy Janette Tondini, 88, passed away at 4:25 p.m. Monday, Feb. 25, 2013, in Memorial Hospital of Carbondale.
She was born Tuesday, Aug. 26, 1924, in South Haven, Mich., the daughter of Howard and Pearl (Goodwin) Booton.
Dorothy's family moved to this area when she was about 12 years old and she attended school in Creal Springs. Later, Dorothy went on to attend SIU and received her certificate in cosmetology in 1957.
Shortly after she received her certificate and got her license she opened her business, "Dorothy's Beauty Salon," in Marion and operated it for the next 15 years until her health forced her to close in 1972. She then went on and began working for the Hampton Care Center of Herrin, as their cook for several years. She later began working for Fountain's Care Center in Marion, as their activity director until she decided to retire in the late 1980s.
Dorothy was united in marriage to Joe D. Tondini on Monday, Dec. 31, 1945, in Peoria, and together they shared nearly 47 years of marriage until his death May 12, 1992.
She was a member of Second Baptist Church of Marion.
In her spare time she enjoyed crocheting and knitting, reading and playing games on her computer.
Her family was always a very important part of her life, seeing to their needs when they were young and later as they got older taking interest in their many different activities. As the family expanded to grandchildren and great-grandchildren, she enjoyed the many times they all gathered together. Those now left behind will cherish the many memories that have been created.
She is survived by three sons and two daughters-in-law, David E. Tondini and fiancée, Jenise Clark, Daniel and Linda Tondini and Kevin D. and Dawn Tondini, all of Marion; eight grandchildren, Matthew Tondini and his wife, Erin, of Goshen, N.Y., Steven Tondini and his wife, Debbie, of Columbia, S.C., Jeffrey Tondini and his wife, Jennifer, of Lexington, S.C., Angela Chamness and her husband, Jason, of Silver Dale, Wash., Julia Colp and her husband, Jason, of Harrisburg, Carrie Jo Tondini of Marion, Joseph Tondini of Marion, and Michael Tondini of Marion; nine great-grandchildren, Madison, Reilley, Matthew, Airanna and Jacob Tondini, Faith and Hunter Chamness and Pyper and Brogan Colp; two brothers and one sister-in-law, Howard Booton of Prairie Grove, Ark., and James and Dorothy Booton of Louisburg, Kan.; other extended family; and many friends.
She was preceded in death by her parents; husband; sister, Annabelle Davis; and brother, Morris Booton.
