Doris (Breitzman) White Obituary (1923

Doris A. "Dory" (Breitzman) White, age 89 of Menomonie, WI died Sunday, November 11, 2012 at Care Partners in Menomonie. Dory was born April 4, 1923 in Menomonie, WI to Reinhart and Anna Marie (Mueller) Breitzman. Two weeks after her birth, her mother died and her Aunt Anna and Uncle Ed Breitzman, along with her father, raised her to be the hard working, loving, caring person she was. Doris loved playing Skip-bo while she had her favorite snack of coca-cola and cookies. When the grandchildren would come for a visit, they would walk to the grocery store for donuts and chocolate milk. She enjoyed her daily walks and used to feed the squirrels at her home until she realized they made their way into her garage and made a mess of the food. For their twenty-fifth anniversary, their son James gave them a trip to Hawaii and she was quoted as saying, "it was the best trip ever." She also enjoyed their trip to Florida when they watched the space shuttle go up. She and Herb made a camping venture out to Colorado to see their son and family and later in life they would spend the "cold months" in California and Arizona. Dory always kept a "clean house" and she was a hard worker at U.W. Stout, in the custodial department. Her family meant the world to her, especially her grandchildren, "the jabberbox" Leisl along with all the rest. Most of all, she was dedicated to her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Her "faith" meant everything to her. Dory is survived by her husband, Herb of Menomonie; a daughter-in-law, Janet White of League City, TX; eleven grandchildren, Tiffany (Frank) Antenucci, Nyssa (Jonathan) Christie, Richard (Michelle) White, Liesl (Tobin) Kern, Anna White, Thomas White, Gregory White, Stephen White, William White, Robert White and Johannes White; two great-granddaughters, Aubree and Sierra White; other relatives and many friends. She was preceded in death by her parents; and her son, James (2012); her "second parents", Ed and Anna Breitzman and their son, Jim (who was like a brother to her). Funeral Services will be held at 11:00 a.m. Thursday, November 15, 2012 at Olson Funeral Home in Menomonie with Pastor LeRoy Nelson officiating. Visitation will take place from 9:00 a.m. until time of service on Thursday at the funeral home. Burial will be in Ford Cemetery in the Town of Menomonie, Dunn Co. WI.
