A Life well lived, Dorthea "Doris" Hoydic Langer, has peacefully ended on Saturday, December 28, 2024. She was a beloved mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and great-great-grandmother. She was born in Erie on November 11, 1932, daughter of the late Joseph and Wanda Szymanowski Hoydic. Doris lived in Erie her entire life, but traveled often. She loved going to Atlantic City and walking the boardwalk, going on cruises, to New York City for shopping trips and the Thanksgiving Day Parade and thought Hawaii was beautiful. Doris attended St. John the Baptist School, St. Benedict's Academy, East High School and eventually, as an adult, graduated from Tech Memorial High School, something she was very proud of. Doris was an avid card player, belonging to many different groups for Pinochle and 500 Rummy. She was also involved with the Red Hat Ladies and different senior center groups. Her love for these activities brought joy to her life. She also loved game nights with her family. The other joy in her life was cooking. Doris owned Langer Tavern and Langer's Catering for over 30 years. Before that, she worked at Woolworths, General Telephone and Lakeview Tavern. Doris loved to do things for her family, sometimes being a little "bossy" to get her children and grandchildren to do what she thought was best for them. Doris is survived by three children, Katharine Langer Frazzini, Kenneth Langer (Arietta) and Stephanie Langer; five grandchildren, Joshua Frazzini, Kara Orlando (Eric), Eric Grove (Danielle), Kristin Zboyovski (Jared) and Nathan Farrell (Jessica); 16 great-grandchildren and many nieces and nephews. In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by one great-grandson, Jayvon Frazzini; three brothers, James, David and Jerome Hoydic; and one sister, Donna Flamio Danko. The family would like to thank the staff at Ball Pavilion for the wonderful care given to Doris.
