Dorothy Krocka passed away at Lasata Care Center on Friday, December 4, 2020 at the age of 85. Dorothy was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin on May 12, 1935 to William and Della (Beinemann) Briske. Dorothy was united in marriage to Joseph Krocka on June 6, 1953 at St. Michael's Parish in Milwaukee. She was the life of the party and never turned down an opportunity to host a gathering with those she loved. Dorothy loved to cook big meals for parties, which prompted Joe to put a second oven in the house for Dorothy. She could be found crocheting, completing word and jigsaw puzzles and traveling up north to the cabin. Above all, Dorothy cared deeply for her family and will be dearly missed. Dorothy is survived by her children: Michael (Janice), Steven, David (Mary), Cheryl, James (Mona) and Victoria Krocka, grandchildren: Sonny, Shelley, Jennifer, Kim, Tricia, Cody, Jerome, Kristi, Tiffany, Joey, Jeff, James, Amanda and Brandon, many great-grandchildren and brother Father Larry Briske. Dorothy is further survived by nieces, nephews and other relatives and friends. She is preceded in death by her husband Joseph, daughter Debra Knitter, grandson Ryan, great grandson Sonny III and two sisters Dolores Hollis and Margaret Dickman.
