It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved mother, Dolores Rorabaugh, during
the early morning hours of December 3, 2024.

Dolores was born in Sharon, Pennsylvania on September 25, 1936, to Stephen and Diana Cuncic. She
graduated from Brookfield High School in 1954 and immediately enrolled at Kent State University where
she graduated with a teaching degree in 1958. In August of that same year, Dolores married Gene
Rorabaugh. They were married 64 years until his passing in May, 2022.

Dolores worked for 39 years teaching typing, shorthand, and speedwriting courses; one year in Hudson,
Ohio, and the next 38 years at Canfield High School in Canfield, Ohio where she also taught computer
courses. Upon retiring, Dolores began a consulting business to teach senior citizens how to use
computers.

In 2007, after living in Canfield for 43 years, Dolores and Gene moved to Temecula, California full-time
to escape the winter weather.

Dolores is survived by her sister and brother-in-law, Ginny and Eric Painter, daughters, Susan Martinez
and Nancy Rorabaugh, son Gregg Rorabaugh, sister-in-law Shirley Rorabaugh, cousin-in-law, Warren
Rorabaugh, two nieces, five grandchildren, one great-grandchild, and her dog, Maxwell.

A service is planned at Grace Presbyterian Church in Temecula, CA.

  1. Knew Mrs Rorabaugh for a long time. Teacher and friend. My deepest sympathy to the family. I am glad I got to visit Mr and Mrs Rorabaugh when I visited Calif. I have known their children for a very long time too. This is a difficult time and many thoughts are with you all. Peace be with you. 😔

  2. You were the best sister I could ever have wanted. I love you dearly.You are always in my heart. Eric and I remember our good times. Love you sissy, Ginny

  3. I don’t think I ever remember Mrs. Rorabaugh without a smile and unending patience. As a teacher, she made learning easy. Teaching was always her passion and she respected her students and did everything she could to help them succeed. Such a jewel. My deepest sympathy to all of her family. Mrs. Rorabaugh will always be remembered ….. so kindhearted.
