Obituary
OREGON- Dorothy Lucille Bork passed away peacefully, at the age of 87, on Friday, Jan 27, 2023, at Azura Memory Care of Stoughton, Wis. She was born on June 18, 1935, in Two Rivers, Wis., to Raymond and Elizabeth (Raeck) Sickinger.
Dorothy grew up in Two Rivers and graduated from Washington High School in 1953. After graduation she moved to Milwaukee and worked for Capital Airlines, which allowed her to travel the world.
Dorothy was united in marriage to Delton "Del" Bork on Nov 12, 1966, in Two Rivers. They settled in Pewaukee where they lived many years and together opened the first Sod farm in Wisconsin (Bork Sod Company). Gardening was one of her favorite ways to pass time.
After Dell's passing in 2012, Dorothy moved to Oregon, Wis., to be closer to family and especially closer to her brother, Henry. While in Oregon she became a member of the Holy Mother of Consolation Church. She loved to visit the Library and Senior Center, but most of all the trips to Culvers for the flavor of the day.
Dorothy is preceded in death by her husband; parents; sister, Marion (Robert) Ploeckelmann; and brother, Henry (Betty) Sickinger; and nieces Mary (Andrew) Smith and Susan (Jon) Radke.
Dorothy is survived by nephews, Steven (Amy) Sickinger, Roger (Mary) Sickinger, Ronald Sickinger (Marshawn Halterman), James Sickinger, Jon Ploeckelmann (Kelly Snethen) and Jay (Kathy) Ploeckelmann; and nieces, Barbara (Todd) Schultz, Sharon (Rodney) Kleiboer and Lynn (John) Maruszczak.
A Mass of Christian burial will be held at HOLY MOTHER OF CONSOLATION CATHOLIC CHURCH, 651 N. Main St., Oregon at 11 a.m. on Saturday, Feb 4, 2023, with Father Gary Wankerl presiding. Visitation will be held at the church from 10 a.m. until the time of the Mass on Saturday.
