Mrs. Doris M. Fiorini

On March 13, 2023, Doris Marie Clark Fiorini left this world to join the love of her life Anthony “Tony” Thomas Fiorini. Tony predeceased her on January 1, 2013. She was born in Pittsfield, MA on May 9, 1927 to Harold and Myrtle Clark. Doris could trace her paternal Clark family tree to Plymouth, MA in the 1600’s and to Berkshire County in 1780. Her maternal Wilkinson family came from Scotland to Canada on a Kings Grant. Wilkinson’s are then traced to North Adams in the 1800’s and worked on the Hoosac Tunnel in 1851. Doris graduated from Pittsfield High School in 1945 and then worked as a telephone operator at General Electric. On February 19, 1949 Doris married her childhood sweetheart, Tony in St. Mary the Morning Start Church in Pittsfield. Married for 63 years, 45 of which they spent working together at Elm Court Greenhouses and Florist in Lenox, MA growing and selling the best flowers and vegetables in the county. Doris helped with the transplanting of thousands of seedlings, designing flower arrangements, wedding bouquets, and kept the books. In 1994 Tony and Doris retired and moved to Dalton, first on Field Street Ext. and then to Sugar Hill where they lived to the end of their respective lives. Doris is survived by her son, Thomas Anthony Fiorini of Lenox, MA., daughter and her husband, Ann Marie and Robert Gurek of Venice, FL., granddaughter, Victoria Lynn Fiorini and partner Dan Fedullo, great-grandson, Bodhi Moss Fedullo of Pittsfield, MA., in-laws, Alice Fiorini of Chester, NJ., Joanne Barker, Mike and Leslie Fiorini of Pittsfield, MA., and 16 nieces and nephews, and many great nieces and nephews spread throughout the country. Many thanks to all the people at Sugar Hill for taking care of Tony and Doris for so many years and Berkshire Medical Center fourth floor nurses, doctors, Hospice, and all the supporting staff for the wonderful end of life care given to Doris. A Catholic Funeral Mass will be said by Monsignor John Bonzagni at Saint Ann’s Church in Lenox, Massachusetts on May 25, 2023 at 10:00am followed by burial in Saint Joseph’s Cemetery in Pittsfield, Massachusetts. A celebration of Doris’s life will be held at Frankie’s in Lenox following the burial. Arrangements are being made by Roche Funeral Home in Lenox. Do not mourn for me. I had a long and productive life. I have loved and been loved. Do not wear black as all my life I was surrounded by colorful flowers. We ask that you wear your most colorful clothes in celebration of Doris’s life.
