KathrynAnn ‘Kathy’ E. Dorcas

KathrynAnn “Kathy” E. (nee Schommer) Dorcas, 76, passed away peacefully on Monday afternoon, June 29, 2020, at her home in De Pere, Wis., surrounded by family.

She was born on Feb. 11, 1944, in Belgium, Wis., to the late Julius and Olive (Krick) Schommer. She was a graduate of Port Washington High School.

On Nov. 27, 1965, she married Thomas Dorcas. He preceded her in death on July 22, 2016.

Kathy made it a point to attend every family activity no matter how big or small. Nothing brought her more joy than attending all of her grandchildren’s activities. Kathy had a heart of gold and shared her kindness with all. She looked forward to lunch and dinner dates with her close friends.

Kathy had a love of birds, and her countless drawing of birds became her signature over the years. We will forever think of you at the sight of the first spring robin.

She is survived by her children Jeff (Molly) Drakas of Menasha, Jennifer (Andrew) Chipman of Appleton and Jodie (Dave) Walker of Ashwaubenon; grandchildren Emily (Rob), Boomer and Matthew (Carley), Elleson and Finley, and Hamilton; brothers Paul (Terry), Steve (Carol), Gerald (Joyce) and Pat Schommer; brother-in-law Mike (Simone) Dorcas; sister-in-law Barb (Lyle) Seider; and many other nieces; nephews; relatives and friends.

In addition to her parents and husband, she was preceded in death by her father-in-law and mother-in-law Peter and Mildred Dorcas.

A private funeral Mass will be held on Saturday, July 4, 2020, at St. John the Evangelist Catholic Church. Entombment will take place in the Allouez Chapel Mausoleum.
