Dolores Strysik Obituary
Dolores "Dolly" A. Strysik, 78, passed peacefully in her sleep on May 31, 2024. She was preceded in death by her loving husband Joe and older brother Joseph. Dolores was a sister to George (Kathleen); sister-in-law to Michele; aunt to Jerome, Kathy, Kim (Craig), Cheryl (Erwin) and Mark (Catie); mother to Dori; grandmother to Laura and Zachary; great-aunt to Carter, Kaitlyn, Caleb, and Alyssa; great-grandmother to Bruce and Nico; and a good friend, neighbor and colleague to many over the years.
Dolores was truly a people person and loved to tell a corny joke. A proud Bohemian and a Blecha through and through. Generous, stubborn, witty and smart. She loved a good bargain, could fix anything, and was always up for an adventure. Late to everything (except work) but definitely worth the wait. She will be dearly missed.
In-state visitation will be on Monday, June 10, 9:30 a.m. until time of Mass. Mass to begin at 10:30 a.m. at St. Monica Catholic Church 5136 N. Nottingham Ave., Chicago, IL. Interment to follow at Irving Park Cemetery. For info 773-774-3232 or www.kolbusmayfh.com.
