Dolores Jankowski Obituary

Dolores M. Jankowski departed this life peacefully on August 14, 2025, at the age of 94, surrounded by the love of her family. She was a devoted mother to Pat, Carol (the late Wayne Mattson), Mark (Stephanie), and Thomas (Patricia). Dolores was also a cherished grandmother to Raymond, Rebecca (Jake), Jessica, and Juliana, and a great-grandmother to Jackson and Madison. She is preceded in death by her beloved husband, Richard, and is lovingly remembered by cousins, nieces, nephews, other relatives, and many friends.

Dolores will always be remembered for her infectious laughter, unwavering warmth, wise counsel, and, notably, her impatience. Though her loss leaves our hearts heavy, we find comfort in knowing she is reunited with loved ones who have passed before her. We will continue to honor her life and legacy in the days ahead. Our family is grateful for your kind thoughts and prayers during this difficult time, with special thanks extended to Cousin Sue.

A visitation will be held at Max A. Sass & Sons-Oklahoma Chapel (1515 W. Oklahoma Ave., Milwaukee) on Wednesday, August 20th beginning at 10:00 AM until the funeral service at 12PM. Interment will follow at St. Adalbert Cemetery.
