Mrs. Dolores Schmitz of Saukville passed away peacefully at her home Wednesday evening, August 22, 2018, at the age of 85. Dolores was born in Saukville on October 4, 1932, the daughter of Anthony and Carol Roos Schowalter. She attended local schools and graduated from Port Washington High School, Class of 1951. On May 17, 1952 Dolores was united in marriage with Robert P. Schmitz at Immaculate Conception Catholic Church in Saukville. The couple settled in the Saukville area and raised their family. Mrs. Schmitz was employed at Northern Signal in Saukville and Control Products in Grafton where she did assembly work, but her main focus was raising her family. Dolores and Bob enjoyed camping with friends across the country, and later staying at campgrounds in Wisconsin after they got their own camper. She loved crocheting and yarn-craft, and would sell some of her creations at local craft shows. Family members would often receive knit slippers or crocheted hot-pads and kitchen towels as gifts. Dolores also loved to play board games, especially Scrabble and Upwords, but had recently started playing games on the computer and her iPad. She also enjoyed her weekly card games with friends. Survivors include her husband Robert and their children Gerald "Jerry" (Carlene) Schmitz and Catherine Berend, both of West Bend and daughter-in-law Lori Schmitz of Saukville. She is further survived by 7 grandchildren: Amy, Kevin, Jessica, Stephen, Keith, Jennifer and Christopher, 7 great-grandchildren, sister-in-law Pam Loof of California, nieces, nephews, other family and friends.
