October 28, 1949 — September 14, 2014
Lowellville - Michael M. Dorney, 64, died September 14, 2014 at the Hospice House after a battle with kidney cancer.
Mr. Dorney was born October 28, 1949 in Youngstown, a son of James and Callie Zumbro Dorney, and a resident of Lowellville since 1978.
He was a 1969 graduate of East High School. After graduation, he enlisted in the United States Marine Corps., serving during the Vietnam War from July of 69' until being honorably discharged in July of 71' with the rank of Corporal.
A loyal and hard working man, Mr. Dorney was employed by LTV Steel for 10 years and worked for ASC in North Jackson and KWA in Kent, working at all of them until their closing.

He was a former member of St. Joseph Church in Austintown, where he was baptized and a current member of Our Lady of the Holy Rosary Church in Lowellville.
In his free time, Mike enjoyed cheering for the Cleveland Browns and Indians, watching the history channel, especially programs on military history, and planting a garden when he got the chance at his country home.
