STOUGHTON - Doris Marie Brietzman, age 86, of Stoughton, passed away peacefully on Monday, March 30, 2026, at Skaalen Nursing and Rehab. She was born on September 10, 1939, in Vermont Township, Wis., the daughter of Carl and Mabel (Kleppe) Hauge.

Doris was a proud graduate of Stoughton High School. On July 12, 1969, she was united in marriage to Richard Brietzman at First Lutheran Church in Stoughton. She dedicated an incredible 53 years of service to Skaalen before retiring in 2017, leaving behind a legacy of compassion and commitment.

In her free time, Doris found joy in attending garage sales and, most importantly, in spending time with her beloved family. She will be remembered as a warm and genuinely happy person who was always ready to lend a helping hand to anyone in need.

Doris is survived by her children, Sheila (Terry) Rigdon, Jeff (Christy) McFadden, Cheryl Olson and Kay Johnson; grandchildren, Melissa (Mike), Jennifer (Chad), Michael (Vicki), Andrew (Ashley), Jossie (Doug), Nanette, April, Keiah, and Mikala, and Jessica; great-grandchildren, Marcus, Milo, Joe, Ashlyn, Gavin, Caleb, Elizabeth, Madison, Laylaa and Scarlet; and nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her husband, Richard; parents, Carl and Mabel; brothers, Mike, Glenn and Grant; and great-granddaughter, Brooklynn.
