Obituary:
Dorie Marie Stutler, age 56, of Akron, OH, passed away on January 9th, 2023. Dorie was born on January 12th, 1966 in Akron to parents, Leno and Donna Gasparri.

Dorie worked at Giant Eagle in Wadsworth for 12 years before she retired in 2021 where she met countless crew members, customers and was deeply loved. Every morning at 5AM she walked in and as only she could announce to everyone “ It’s me, it’s me Dorie Marie!”

Dorie resided in Akron the past 10 years but was able to enjoy her lake house in Marblehead, OH the last two years. She loved meeting new friends, walks along the water, not catching but eating Walleye and long talks with her friend, Judy to Camp Runinmuck. Dorie always loved the beach just being outdoors and spending time with her grandkids.

Preceded in death by her mother, Donna Gasparri; Dorie is survived by her husband, Scott Stutler; children, Russell Cody Hatch, Richard Colton (Brittanie) Hatch, Joseph Cortland (Clara) Hatch; step children, Sarah, Hannah and Rebecca Stutler; father, Leno Gasparri; and six grandchildren. She leaves behind sisters, Candy (Ed) Broccolo, Pam Johnson, Toni Tidwell; brother, Michael (Liz) Gasparri; numerous nieces, nephews and beloved dog, Annie.

The family would like to thank the medical professionals that cared for Dorie during her illness.
