Doris E. Dintino, 93, married to the former head of the New Jersey State Police, Colonel Justin J. Dintino, for 71 years, died on October 24, 2022, after a brief illness.  Doris was born on October 20, 1929, in Erial, New Jersey, the daughter of the late Robert and Edith Carey.  Growing up in Mt. Ephraim, she met her husband, the late Justin Dintino, at a local dance when she was only 15 years old.  A few years later they married and began their family.  While raising her children Doris worked in quality control at Columbia Records in Pitman for many years.  A loving mother and grandmother, Doris dedicated her life to support and care for her parents, children, grandchildren, sisters, and many friends.  Always sacrificing for her family, she was truly the glue who held them together.  She especially loved dancing, holidays with her family, the beach and country music.  Her generosity, kindness and laughter will be greatly missed.
