  • Obituary

    Doloris Irene Korhonen, 78, Superior went to be with her parents and siblings that went before her, on Dec 8, 2010. She spent her final days at the beautiful and serene Solvay Hospice House. She was born on April 6, 1932, in Oulul, WI, to Charles and Irene Johnson. After Doloris raised five children and babysat for many neighborhood children, she decided to join the work force. She was talked into working for the Billings Park Cafe with her friend, Ann Carrigan. From there she went to work at Cronstrom's Supper Club where she was the salad preparer and made many friends there, that she truly enjoyed. Doloris loved to visit the casino and with her winnings she would buy all kinds of presents for the kids and grandkids and let them pick what they wanted from her "present room". You could never leave the house without Mom saying, "Wait a minute now, I was going to give you something". She would always give you a card on your birthday with little houses drawn inside with stick people. She had many December birthdays, and they are all missing those cards and the love she would send their way. She loved to plant flowers in the spring and enjoyed sitting on the deck and visiting with us kids. She was preceded in death by her parents; her siblings, Carol Archambeau, Dorothy Alholm, Howard, Eugene and Leslie Johnson; her former husband, John Korhonen; and special friends, Gary Kusatz and Arnold Saari. Doloris is survived by one son, Douglas (Susan) of St Louis, MO; four daughters, Sandra (Jeff) Little, Darla Korhonen, Debbie (Scott) Stewart and Jodi Willoughby, all of Superior; one brother, Melvin (Maryanne) Johnson; two sisters, June Johnson and Evelyn (Bill) Culhane; 12 grandchildren; 16 great-grandchildren; one great-great-grandchild with her second one on the way. She would have loved to be here for their birth, as babies were her favorite. She will also be missed by many nieces, nephews and friends. The family would like to express their gratitude to her special caregiver and friend, Karen Aho, who was with Doloris for years and we cherish the love you showed her. John and Renae Fryt, her neighbors, were always there for her. Mother treated John like a surrogate husband. He came to help her and hold her hand if she needed someone. If he didn't do things the way she wanted, she would scold him. That never bothered him, they would both laugh about it later. Your children thank you for all that you have been and done for them and will sadly miss you until we join you. Until then Mom, rest in piece. There will be a graveside memorial service at the Waino Ever Rest Cemetery in the spring. (Superior Telegram)
