Obituary of Dorothy Loeffler

Dorothy Kahn Loeffler, 45 entered into rest Monday, September 16, 2024, at home in Goshen. Dorothy was a one-of-a-kind person. She was always around when you needed a second medical opinion or just needed a shoulder to cry on. She'd be Chris Farley one minute then "Mom of the Week" the next. Her kindness will never be matched. Dorothy was born September 17, 1978, in Suffern, NY, the daughter of Ernest P. Kahn and Marianne M. (Carroll) Kahn. She was a Goshen graduate who successfully participated in the tour de Goshen. She went on to get her Associates degree in Physical Therapy. She worked for multiple healthcare facilities on Long Island including Affinity Nursing Home in Oakdale, NY, and most recently The Hamlet Rehabilitation and Healthcare Center, Nesconset NY, as a Licensed Physical Therapist Assistant as well as direct home cases. In her youth, she not only got her Red belt in Tang Soo Do but was active as a CCD teacher and was one of the original members of the youth group at St John's Church. She was always known as a caregiver. Her instinct to help never failed. And she used that throughout her career and her life. Dorothy loved the change of seasons which she gardened in the spring keeping records of the yearly bounty, boating and exploring the nooks of Long Island bays and beaches with Ray in summer, Drives for family events listening to music and watching the leaves change, and the beauty and miracles of winter's Christmas season. Dorothy will be missed by all, especially her family and her beloved dog Duke as well as the many souls she touched during her too brief time on this earth. Dorothy is survived by her husband Raymond Loeffler; her parents Ernest and Marianne Kahn; brother William Kahn; sister Elizabeth (Kahn) Heil and her husband Casey, her two cherished nieces, Amelia and Madeline, mother in law Regina Loeffler (Donald), brother in law Robert Loeffler, his wife, Alison Petto Loeffler, niece Annika Loeffler and nephew Darren Loeffler as well as many Aunts, Uncles, cousins and friends. A Funeral Mass to Celebrate her life will be held 10:00 am on Tuesday, September 24, 2024, at St. John The Evangelist R.C. Church, 71 Murray Ave, Goshen, NY. Burial will be in Private. In lieu of flowers memorial donations may be made in Dorothy's name to a charity of your choice.
