Kaska-Dresel, Mavis “Mickie” Jean (Kaska) (4 FEB 1931 - 29 DEC 2017)
Mavis “Mickie” Jean Kaska-Dresel, 86, Muldraugh, Ky. and formally of Cadott,
left this earth Friday, Dec. 29, 2017, at Hardin Memorial Hospital in
Elizabethtown, Ky.
Mickie was born Feb. 4, 1931, to James and Elizabeth (Kintler) Kaska, in the
home of her grandparents, Joseph and Katherine Kaska.
Her parents built Pike Lake Resort & Ballroom. Mickie lived with her Uncle Matt
and Aunt Helen while attending Cadott High School and college.
Mickie married Robert “Bob” J. Dresel June 9, 1951, in Jim Falls, at the United
Methodist Church. She moved to Muldraugh, Ky. in 1952, to be with Bob, who was
in the Army serving at Fort Knox, Kentucky.
Later, she and Bob started and managed several small businesses, which included
Dresel’s Car Wash and Dresel’s Rentals. They enjoyed spending time together,
traveling and going on fishing trips.
Mickie’s world was turned upside down April 3, 1974, when Bob was killed in a
tornado in Brandenburg, Ky. With the help of her children, determination and
dedication, Mickie would persevere in running the small businesses they built
together.
She is survived by her daughter – Denise Kay Stark (Bert); two sons – Dean R.
Dresel (Carol) and Daniel J. Dresel (Dawn Ferguson); nine grandchildren; 15
great-grandchildren; four stepgreat-grandchildren; nieces; nephews; cousin –
Patty Hrdlicka; brothers-in-law – Howard Dresel and Jim Sedlacek; sisters-in-law

Joseph (Joey) Kintler; uncle Matt and aunt Helen Turecek; uncle Joe and aunt
Lucille Kaska; father-in-law – Herman Dresel; mother-in-law – Viola (Bailey)
Dresel; brothers-in-law – Kenneth and Carl Dresel; nephew Randall Dresel; and

services immediately following at Bethany Cemetery. Family and friends were
invited to Mickie’s Celebration of Life at the City of Muldraugh Safe Room,
located on South Main Street, across from Muldraugh Fire Department, for food
and memories at 2 p.m., Saturday.
The service was officiated by Chuck O’Dell, with words of reflection by Charlie
Poole, Doug Reed and Daniel Dresel. Pallbearers were Cory Dresel, Derek Dresel,
Michael Thomas, Jason Perdue, Jason Dresel, Troy Dresel, Mike Dresel, Kyle
