Funeral Mass: 11:00 a.m. Thursday, Jan. 26, at St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Catholic Church. A rosary will be held Wednesday, Jan. 25, at Cedar Memorial Park Funeral Home at 4 p.m. followed by a visitation until 7 p.m. Burial: Cedar Memorial Park Cemetery. Survivors include her husband of 55 years, Victor; her daughters, Christine M. Sievers (James) of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, and Debra D. Frett of Cedar Rapids, Iowa; her grandchildren, Eric Sievers, Katrina Haugen, Jeffrey Sievers and Brent Sievers; many great-grandchildren; and her siblings, LeRoy Kropp, Mary Dvorak, Joyce Horacek and Johanna Kropp. She was preceded in death by her parents; her daughter, Karen Dvorak Sievers; and her grandson, Edward Sievers. Delores was born March 14, 1937, in Athen, Wis., the daughter of Fred and Clara (Felzkowski) Kropp. She married Edward J. Dvorak in Athens, Wis. in 1954. He died in 1963. She then met and married Victor H. Pilsner on Feb. 10, 1968, in Stratford, Wis., and moved to Cedar Rapids. Vic and Dee owned and operated D&V IND Supply for 40 years. She was a member of St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Catholic Church and Polka Club of Iowa. She loved spending time with her family and friends, reading, dancing and gardening. Dee and Vic spent springs fishing in Minnesota-she was the fisherman of the two. They traveled most of the states and gambling for fun. Dee was loved by all she met and will be greatly missed by her family and friends. The family would like to extend a special thanks to Mercy Medical Center and the Dennis & Donna Oldorf Hospice House for all the loving care they gave to Delores.
