Dolores Lucile Wajek

Dolores Lucile Wajek, our sweet mother, grandmother and great-grandmother, passed away at her home Thursday, July 8, 2021. Her great-granddaughter, Brynn, was at her side.

Dolores was born June 9, 1928, to Guy and Hazel DeMarce.

She grew up in Cornell, where she met and married Edwin Wajek in 1950.

Her job at the Ben Franklin allowed her to share her love of sewing and crafts with the many people she got to meet.

Family always came first to Dolores. If you came to visit her, you became family. She will be remembered for her adventurous spirit and beautiful smile, and kind words for all she met.

She is survived by her daughter – Gail (Greg) Staszko; sons – Joe (Joanna) and John (June) Wajek; grandchildren – Kevin, Nicole (Scott Decker) and Brent Wajek, and Lindsey and David (Christine) Staszko; great-grandchildren – Keegan and Brynn Vereide, and Alexis, Trenten, Kaynyn, Kinley and Kambrye Wajek; and many nieces and nephews.

She was preceded in death by her husband – Edwin; parents – Guy and Hazel DeMarce; brothers – Dean and Gary DeMarce; and sisters – Catherine and Gay Lynn.

Services will be held at 11 a.m., Friday, July 16, at Our Savior’s Lutheran Church in Cornell. Interment will be in the Cornell Cemetery.

Visitation will be held from 9:30 a.m., until the time of service, Friday, at the church.
