Dodie was the wife of the late Louis E. Lallo, Sr. who passed away in 1993 one day before their 37th wedding anniversary.

Dodie loved being with her family. She always made family gatherings and holidays special. Her tables were always beautifully decorated. Each Christmas shared a different theme. Everyone loved to gather at Dodie and Louie’s house for parties and picnics.
Her favorite pastime was shopping. She had an outfit for every occasion and an occasion for every outfit. She also enjoyed watching her favorite football team the New York Giants.
She enjoyed gatherings with her lady friends for birthday lunches, theatre, and local events.
