Dorothy Oesterreich

August 15, 1931 - April 5, 2016

Dorothy Oesterreich of Phillips WI. passed away on Tuesday April 5th at St Joseph’s Hospital in Marshfield, WI. At her side were her daughter Kathleen, nephew Ronald Jr., and long time friend Michael Kralj.
In 1986, after many years of vacationing in the Fifield area, Dorothy found her special place on Soo Lake. In 1999, after years of traveling back & forth from Milwaukee, Dorothy retired from Sears & Roebuck Co. and became a permanent resident of Phillips. She loved hunting and fishing in the area, and had a special place in her heart for the wild life and nature in general. Even the bears that would sometimes trash her bird feeders.
Dorothy put in many years of hard work on her place so that her children and grandchildren could visit and enjoy. We have probably never thanked her enough for doing so.
Her son Ronald and daughter Kathleen, grandchildren Ronald Jr., Jennifer, and Derek ET3 US Navy, and great grandchildren Brandon, Riley and Connor survive Dorothy. She is also survived by her 4 legged K-9 companion “Sammy.”
Also survived by many close friends including Gene Bulzak, special friend Michael Kralj. and good friends Bill & Carol Nachtrab, who we wish to thank for their help to mom through the years and especially the last 6 months.
Her son William precedes Dorothy in death.

Dorothy requested that no Service be held and the family is honoring her wish.
