Lucille L. (Dolly) Kobs, 88, passed away on Wednesday, November 11, 2020, at

Dolly was born August 15, 1932, in the Town of Colby, Clark County, to William

Ken and Dolly owned and operated the Park Motel in Marshfield for 28 years.
After retiring, Dolly worked at North Wood County Historical Society (Upham

She was an active volunteer at North Wood County Historical Society, Faith
Lutheran Church, Marshfield Women’s Club, and Marshfield Heritage Museum. She
was awarded the Annual John Christner Historian Award in 2010 by Main Street

Dolly loved being with her grandchildren and attended as many of their school
events as possible. She enjoyed studying and researching history, gardening,
fashion, and decorating her house for the holidays.
She is survived by her children, Gary of Marshfield, Bruce (Brenda) of Chilton,
and Julie Hastreiter of Marshfield; grandchildren Andrea (Javier) Zea, Daniel
Hastreiter, William (Phuong) Hastreiter, Nicholas Hastreiter, Kendra (fiancé
