NOLAN, Dorothy A. (nee Sealskin) was born on March 6, 1927 in Jersey City, the daughter of Florence (nee Joyce) Sealskin and August P. Sealskin. She is survived by her only child, Florence D. Nolan. She was married briefly to John Nolan. Although the marriage ended, they both remained lifelong friends. Dorothy was an executive secretary for AT&T before her retirement in 1990. Then she worked for the Borough of Ridgefield in the offices of the borough clerk and later that of the emergency manager before her retirement in 2009. Dorothy was a loving daughter and mother. She was a constant encouragement and support to her daughter with whom she had a very close relationship. She was an accomplished chess player who won many tournaments and appeared on the cover of chess magazines. She loved to paint, knit, crochet and do ceramics. Her work in these areas was truly excellent. She enjoyed following the stock market and helped numerous friends understand how the market worked and how to make solid investments in blue chip stocks. She was an enthusiastic bowler and continued to participate in bowling leagues until her mid-eighties. Dorothy enjoyed traveling. She and her daughter took many great trips to Europe and to various U.S. states. Dorothy loved music and went frequently to Broadway shows and to Lincoln Center with her daughter. Dorothy enjoyed both the ballet and opera. Dorothy was a wonderful person who lived a full and good life. Everyone she met was better for having known her. At her request there will be a private interment.
