Dolores Urbaniak Obituary

(nee Rickert), born on November 9th, 1929, was sent to her eternal home to join her beloved husband, Ralph, and her loving daughter, Janet (Manuel) Rolan on Monday, February 9th, 2026. She passed peacefully with the unwavering companionship of her devoted granddaughter, Denise (John). Additionally, she is survived by her grandsons, Trevor (fiancé-Caleb), Michael (Kay), and Liam. Preceded in death by her parents Emil and Sarah, her siblings, Artie, Clarence, Leonard, Edward, Evelyn, Rosie, Lorraine, and Geri. Further survived by many nieces, nephews, and other family who cherished her deeply.

A lifelong fan of the Milwaukee Brewers, Dolores made sure never to miss a game. She embraced every chance she had to play Bingo and had a special fondness for polka music, roses, Betty Boop, and strawberries. Above all else, family was at the heart of her life. She was a constant source of kindness, warmth, support, and guidance for her grandchildren and treasured her roles as "Grandma" and "Aunt."

Dolores was an extraordinary woman who made the world brighter simply by being in it. Her love, humor, and gentle spirit will be profoundly missed by all who knew her.
