Dolly (Marion) Martin

Born Oct 3, 1916, passed May 20, 2017. She is preceded in death by parents Agusta and Leonard Stroebel, husband Lyman, and daughter Christine Stilling. She is survived by son Carl (Jenny), Son-in law Harry, daughter Margaret (Ron), Grandchildren: Bill (Kristen), Bob (Megan), Maggie(Kyle), Anna, Peter, and Great Grandchildren Justin, Adella, Emmett and Elin.

Dolly lived her entire life in rural Jefferson County, graduating from Jefferson High School, and attending UW Madison. She worked for the Jefferson County Union, and before that had a tea room in her home.

Dolly loved her family, and played a special part in the lives of her "grand" and great- grandchildren. She was a member of many local organizations, including the Moravian Church of Lake Mills, Eastern Star, Women's Club, Young Mother's Homemakers, and the Historical Society, spending many hours volunteering for the organizations she supported. She played a friendly game of bridge, loved to entertain, cook, garden, shop and attend kids and grandkids events.

She welcomed all into her home, and was happiest with a table full of family and friends. We will miss her continued enthusiasm for life, and are happy many could celebrate with her on her 100th Birthday!

A special thank you to the caregivers of Alden Estates and Rainbow Hospice, and for continued visits and greetings from many.

Friends can greet the family on Friday, June 9 from 4:30-6:30, Lake Mills Moravian Church Social Hall. Please direct memorials to the Moravian Church/Youth programs or Christine Stilling Memorial Scholarship.
