Obituary
In the quietness of the night, Delores Irma (Wendel) Rozek left behind the dust and noise of our world and entered the holy hush of our God's presence.
Delores, of Rosendale, died, at the age of 97, October 7, 2024. She was born April 28, 1927 in Stockbridge, a daughter of Claude & Francis (Groeschl) Wendel. On October 9, 1946, she married Gilbert Rozek at St. Mary's Church in Fond du Lac.
She volunteered at the Senior Center's food program & Mission Quilting Club. She was a member of Mercury Retiree's Club and the Fond du Lac Artist Association. She enjoyed oil painting, reading, knitting, crocheting, doing puzzles, traveling, taking walks, and her flower garden. Many of her paintings adorn the homes of family, friends & complete strangers. She loved her 3 children, her 10 grandchildren, 15 great grandchildren, and 2 great-great grandchildren unconditionally. She will live in our memories as a kind, nurturing, and loving person.
She is survived by two sons and one daughter: James (Kathy) Rozek of Eldorado & their children: Kay (David) Pickart, Dawn (Chris) Day, and Shawn (Artie) Gold, Steve (Denise) Rozek of Rosendale & their children: Jenna (Paul Giddings), Kyle (Hannah) Rozek, and Lindsay (Brian Wunder), Carol Kinyon of Oshkosh & her children and step-children: Todd (Dyane) Christie, Troy (Angie) Christie, Shannon (Kurt) Sadowska, and Nick (Rose) Kinyon.

"Delores' Recipe for Life"
(excerpts from SUCCESS by Ralph Waldo Emerson)
Have a garden, laugh often & much!
Win the respect of intelligent people & the affection of children.
Earn the appreciation of honest critics & endure betrayal of false friends.
Appreciate beauty & find the best in others.
Leave the world a bit better-- whether by a healthy child, a good painting, a garden patch, or a
redeemed social condition.
To know even one life has breathed easier because I lived. This is to have succeeded.
Now I rest in peace. I am gone home. Remember me.
