Obituary for Dorothy M. Pavlik (Reggetts)

Dorothy M.  Pavlik (Reggetts)
Dorothy M. Pavlik, 85, of Iron Mountain, passed away Monday, July 27, 2015, at Dickinson County Healthcare System, Iron Mountain.

She was born August 12, 1929, in Iron Mountain, daughter of the late Charles and Carrie (Michela) Reggetts.

Dorothy graduated from Iron Mountain High School, Class of 1947. She went on to continue her education at Northern Michigan University, where she received her Bachelor of Science Degree in Music in 1951; she later did graduate work in music at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Dorothy married Ronald J. Pavlik in 1953, whom she met while teaching at Stephenson. They later moved to Bay City, Michigan where they continued to teach. Dorothy also became a full time organist and choir director at St. Boniface Church in Bay City for 30 years.

Upon her husband’s retirement they moved to Iron Mountain. Once again she became involved with music as organist and choir director at St. Mary Queen of Peace Church for nine years and accompanists for the Dickinson County Community Chorus for sixteen years. They always said she was lucky to have married a talented musician. Besides playing for community events, they enjoyed many hours on a daily basis playing music of the Big Band and Jazz Artists.

She is survived by her loving husband of 62 years, Ron.

In accordance with Dorothy’s wishes private family services were held.

The family has chosen the Jacobs Funeral Home, Iron Mountain to honor Dorothy’s Legacy of Life.
