Colleen J. Sobieszczyk, 64, of Marinette, passed away on January 16, 2025, at her home. She was born on November 13, 1960, in Milwaukee, the daughter of Charles and Kathleen (Chaulklin) Dodson.
Colleen grew up and attended school in her hometown of Milwaukee before relocating to Peshtigo with her family in 2000. She married the love of her life, Leon R. Sobieszczyk, on October 26, 1996, in Milwaukee. Together, they shared 38 years of love, laughter, and cherished memories. Her strength, passion, and unwavering love for those she held dear made her a cherished presence in the lives of all who knew her.
Family was at the heart of everything Colleen did. She was a devoted wife, mother, and grandmother, and her faith in Christ was a cornerstone of her life. Colleen found joy in the simple pleasures of life. Whether it was gathering around a table to play cards, laughing over a bingo game, engaging in board games that sparked friendly competition, or sitting around a campfire beaming with joy as she shared stories under the stars, she cherished every moment spent with her loved ones.
Colleen is survived by her husband, Leon R. Sobieszczyk; five children Dena (Martin) Garcia, Trena (Pedro) Hernandez, Timothy (Colleen) Reisner, Rebecca Sobieszczyk, and Melissa (Samuel) Crowe, along with grandchildren, Nicholas Galarza, Abigail Mason, Trena Galarza, Luis Rohena, Pedro Hernandez Jr., Antonio Hernandez, Michael Reisner, Alina Sobieszczyk, Vanessa Sobieszczyk, Brayden Boggess, Jude Crowe, and Liliana Crowe. Additionally, Colleen had 4 great grandchildren. She is further survived by sisters and brothers, Carolyn (Butch) Beres, Gary (Bonnie) Waite, Glen (Renee) Demmith, Cathy (Jay) Demmith, Cherie Rose, and Mark Waite. She was preceded in death by her sister Carol Beres, her father Charles Dodson, and mother Kathleen Dodson.
There will be an intimate celebration of life at Spirit House Distillery & Cocktails
533 10th Avenue, Menominee, MI 49858.
