Kansas City

 

Dena Marie Dollinger, 67, of Kansas City North, MO, passed away on Tuesday, May 02, 2023. Celebration of Life gathering will be at her home where we can have one last deck party in honor of her, on Sunday, May 07, 2023, from 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM at her residence.

Memorial Contributions may be made to the KU Medical Center & Hospital.

Dena was born on June 25, 1955, in Detroit, Michigan. She was the daughter of Bob Randall and Delores Kindberg.

Dena worked for King Oil Enterprise for 20 years before gaining employment at Bevron Laboratories, where she eventually acquired the position as a Managing Director. She left shortly after the death of her husband, Larry Dollinger, who was buried four years to the date of her death. Dena’s last position was at Holman Automotive, where she worked as an Account Administrator.

Dena will be remembered for her big deck parties, competitive winning streaks, boisterous personality, screaming at the TV while the KC Chiefs were playing, and her over-the-top Christmas decorations.

She was a loving wife to her husband, Larry Dollinger, for 44 years. She was a most loving mother of four children: Brian Matthew Dollinger and his wife: Lori Ann, of Myerstown, Pennsylvania; Laura Jean Dollinger of Kansas City, Missouri; Daniel (Danny) Joseph Dollinger of Cherokee, Kansas; and Nichole Lynn Voyles and her husband: Ryan Matthew, of Kearney, Missouri. Dena has 17 grandchildren and 3 great grandchildren.

Dena will be greatly missed by her family, friends, and her beloved pets.
