Adoracion Bartolini Wilder

Adoracion “Dory” Bartolini Wilder was a devoted wife, a loving mother, grandmother, great grandmother, sister and aunt. She left this world on November 18, 2024, pain free from paralysis and ailments her body could not endure. 

She was born to Telesforo and Estelita Bartolini on December 24, 1948, in a small little village in Baybay, Leyte Philippines. Dory dedicated her life helping those that needed her most, especially her family members. After her son, Dory had always wanted a bigger family but because of complications, she could not conceive. Her dream was fulfilled when she adopted three little girls from the Philippines in the early 1980’s. 

Dory lived a simple life. She enjoyed going for walks, watched her soap opera such as “Days of our Lives or All my Children” and cooking. Dory when visited will always have something ready for anyone to eat and will say in Tagalog, “Dali, kain na tayo” which means “Come, let’s eat!”

She is survived by her husband Paul Wilder, son Alberto Bartolini (wife Rhonda), daughters Bernadita Ginoza (husband Scott), Clavel Shaw, Joy Shaw and brother Danilo Bartolini in the Philippines, grandchildren, great grandchildren whom she loved and spoiled, nephews, nieces and cousins. Dory will be forever in her family’s heart and will be greatly missed.
