Stock, Dolores "Dolo" Jean (Slobodnik) (5 NOV 1931 - 31 JUL 2015)

Dolores "Dolo" Jean Stock, age 83, of Owen, left us July 31, 2015 in her home under the tender care of Hope Hospice, with her loving husband and 8 children by her side. Her family took care of Dolo during her battle with lung cancer.

A Memorial Mass will be held on Tuesday, August 4, 2015 at 11:00AM at Holy Rosary Catholic Church in Owen. Father Janusz Kowalski will officiate. Visitation will be from 9:00AM until time of service on Tuesday at the church. Maurina-Schilling Funeral Home in Owen is entrusted with the arrangements.

Dolo was born in Gary, IN on November 5, 1931 to John and Clara (Crystal) Slobodnik. In the mid 1940's her and her family moved to rural Withee. Dolo went to high school in Withee, where she met the love of her life, Herb Stock. They married in 1950 at the Holy Rosary Church. Together they raised 8 children. She quilted, knitted, crocheted and sewed our clothes for us. Every summer she would make sure the station wagon was filled with food and goodies for the family camping trips.

Dolo had an adventurous spirit. She enjoyed everything; golfing, camping, hiking, gardening, dancing, singing in the choir, playing piano, playing Santa Claus at the nursing home, and volunteering for Christmas Tree Lane. She was full of life. She would do anything if she knew it would bring a person joy and happiness.

Dolo is survived by her husband, Herb, and 8 children; Terri, Connie, Jacque, Toni, Casey, Kelly, Mike, and Bill. She will be missed dearly by her 10 grandchildren, 16 Great-grandchildren, and 1 Great-great-grandchild. Dolo is further survived by two brothers, Larry and Dick.

She is preceded in death by her parents, John and Clara. Dolo will be remembered as a self-less, loving, and caring person. She brought sunshine wherever she went.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests memorials to Hope Hospice in Medford and Ministry Healthcare in Marshfield.
