Dolores J. “Daidee” Tourtillott, 85, of Green Bay, passed away on Saturday, Jan. 31, 2015.
Dolores was born on Oct. 15, 1929, in Eagle River, the daughter of the late Henry and Electa (Elm) Lawe. She grew up on the Menominee Reservation and moved to Kansas to attend Haskell Indian School. In 1948, Dolores was united in marriage to Ray Tourtillott in Neopit. The couple then moved to Chicago. Ray preceded her in death in 1968. She found love again with Carl Morgan; he preceded her in death in 2011. Dolores and Robert Willnow were united in marriage in 1990 in Chicago and moved to Green Bay after retirement. He, too, preceded Dolores in death on April 26, 2009.
Dolores was feisty and independent, but also had a soft side. She would do anything for her family and friends, and her door was always open. In her free time, she loved to play Bingo. She called it “the one away game.” She also enjoyed watching the Game Show Network. She was a wonderful woman who will be deeply missed by those who knew her.
Dolores is survived by her children, George (Patti Sundquist) Tourtillott, of Oneida, Robert Morgan, of Green Bay, Carl (Yvonne Kaquatosh) Morgan, of Green Bay, and Scott (Della Heatley) Morgan, of Green Bay. She is further survived by 21 grandchildren, 46 great-grandchildren and 13 great-great-grandchildren, as well as other relatives and friends.
She was preceded in death by the three loves of her life, Ray Tourtillott, Carl Morgan Sr. and Robert Willnow; two sons, Richard and Kenny; one daughter, Kathy; two granddaughters, Michelle and Natawn; her parents; four brothers, Donald Lawe, John Lawe, Norbert Lawe and Francis Lawe; and four sisters, Mary Tucker, Catherin Lawe, Marcella Latender and Ruth Tepiew.
A funeral service will be held at 11 a.m. Thursday, Feb. 5, 2015, at St. Anthony Catholic Church in Neopit with the Rev. David McElroy, O. Praem, officiating. Visitation will be held at the Velma Sanapaw residence, N594 Schunien St., Keshena, from 3 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 3, 2015, until the procession leaves for the church on Thursday, Feb. 5, 2015.
