She was also fortunate enough to have 10 grandchildren and 5 great grandchildren. She is also survived by her 2 sisters; Martha Cervanka and Georgia Chamberlain both of Texas.

She is predeceased by her husband, Cal, and two of her children; Lynda Dalton and Daniel Dockrey, and her two brothers; Alex Kocurek and Jerry Kocurek.

There will be a viewing for her at the Chapel of the Twin Cities Thursday, October 5th, 2017, from 4 to 8 p.m. Rosary will be said for her there on Thursday at 6 p.m. Funeral Mass will be held Friday, October 6th, 2017, at 11:00 a.m., at St. Isadore's Church with a reception immediately following at the hall.

Dear Dockery' Family,

I have known Lillian for over 40 years from a Bible study group in which we participated and from St. Isidore Church. She inspired me by her strong faith, compassionate love, humility, and optimism. I will miss her.

Fondly,
Barbara Keeley
