Fitchburg—Dorothy T. Nikitas, 96, of Fitchburg, Mass. passed away peacefully on February 3, 2018 at home.
A loving and devoted aunt to two nephews, one niece, and one great nephew, Dorothy was born in Fitchburg on November 16, 1921 to the late Nicholas M. and Antonia (Ladas) Nikitas. A member of the Fitchburg High School Class of 1939, Dorothy went on to enjoy a 41-year career with the New England Telephone Co., beginning in 1940 in their Fitchburg office. As she rose through the ranks of the company, her work would take her throughout the Commonwealth, first to Ayer, Mass., where she was Manager and Chief Operator, then to Lynn, Mass., and, finally, to Boston, where she served as Staff Manager.
An avid investor and crossword puzzle enthusiast—her favorite was that of the New York Times—Dorothy was a devoted Red Sox fan who enjoyed knitting, baking, and traveling, particularly to Greece, which she visited throughout her life. Moreover, long active in the Greek community of Massachusetts and beyond, Dorothy was a longtime supporter of the Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church of Fitchburg, through their Ladies Hope, Philoptochos, and Elpis societies.
Predeceased by her brother, Marines N. Nikitas, and sister Christine A. Nikitas, both of Fitchburg, and her nephew Nicholas M. Nikitas, of Plymouth, Mass., Dorothy is survived by her sister Demetra N. Avdoulos of Glastonbury, Conn.; a niece, Christina A. Nikitas, of Woburn, Mass.; a nephew, Michael S. Avdoulos, also of Glastonbury, Nicholas’ wife, Joanne, of Plymouth, Mass.; and a great nephew, Maximos N. Nikitas, of Washington, D.C.
