Dorothy C. Stasioski

Dorothy C. Stasioski (nee Gulczynski). Beloved wife of the late Walter. Loving mother of Walter Stasioski, Joyce Milewski and Bev (Kevin) Anderson. Dear grandmother of Teddy Milewski, Jennifer (Lori) Clark and Tom (Kristen) Stevenson. Cherished great grandmother of Brendan Tomczak, Jaedan Droessler, Allison Altman, Tristan Stevenson, Abbey Altman, Jameson Stevenson and Quintin Altman. Adoring sister of the late Chester Gulczynski, late Richard (late Delores) Gulczynski, late Jean (late Jim) Preisler, late Frances (late Tom) Rutkowski, and the late Florence (late Paul Earl) Cheek. Fond aunt and great aunt of many nieces and nephews. Born in 1927 on the southside of Chicago, she attended St. Joseph’s grammar and High schools. She eventually got married in 1956 to her loving husband, Walter, and moved to the North side and grew into a big Cubs fan. In the nearly 40 years they were married, they happily raised 3 children. She loved to cook and clean and do whatever it took to support the family. She continued to enjoy ironing everything, until her final months. It took her until 1980 to take her only 2 airplane flights to visit their son in Kansas City where he went to work after college. After her children were grown, she began enjoying 3 grandchildren, and eventually 7 great grandchildren. Attending their school concerts and plays and playing rummy with the great grandchildren, was a fun day. She enjoyed making jigsaw puzzles when she wasn’t watching the Cubs. She was always helpful, kind, loving, a sweetheart and a strong polish woman. Family, including extended family, God, daily prayers, and church were very important to her.
