Dolores "Dolly" A. Strysik, 78, passed peacefully in her sleep on May 31, 2024. She was preceded in death by her loving husband Joe and older brother Joseph. Dolores was a sister to George (Kathleen); sister-in-law to Michele; aunt to Jerome, Kathy, Kim (Craig), Cheryl (Erwin), and Mark (Catie); mother to Dori; grandmother to Laura and Zachary; great-aunt to Carter, Kaitlyn, Caleb, and Alyssa; great-grandmother to Bruce and Nico; and a good friend, neighbor and colleague to many over the years.

Dolores was truly a people person and loved to tell a corny joke. A proud Bohemian and a Blecha through and through. Generous, stubborn, witty and smart. She loved a good bargain, could fix anything, and was always up for an adventure. Late to everything (except work) but definitely worth the wait. She will be dearly missed.

In-state visitation will be on Monday, June 10, 9:30 a.m. until time of Mass. Mass to begin at 10:30 a.m. at St. Monica Catholic Church 5136 N. Nottingham Ave., Chicago, IL. Interment to follow at Irving Park Cemetery. For info 773-774-3232 or www.kolbusmayfh.com.
