MADISON - Doris C. Hassett-Brockmann (Niesen), age 93, of Madison, crossed over peacefully surrounded by her family at home on March 12, 2023, of natural causes. She was born on June 7, 1929, in Springfield Corners, Wis., the youngest of nine children of the late Henry and Louise (Endres) Niesen.
Doris was married to Edward Cecil Hassett, who crossed over in 1976, and then to Dr. Myron Brockmann, who died in 1994. She was a member of Immaculate Heart of Mary Catholic Church and later, St. Maria Goretti Parish, where she was a devout member of the Divine Mercy Group. She volunteered at the Red Cross for 25 years. In her free time, she loved spending time with her family and friends, was an outstanding bowler, loved playing cards, and enjoyed playing the harmonica and clarinet. She was also an avid fan of the Brewers, Badgers and Packers.
Doris is survived by her sons, Steven, Robert (Joli) and Edward Jr. (Lynn); daughter, Debra (Ralph) Coccia; grandchildren, Thomas Hassett, Ryan Coccia and Alex Coccia; stepdaughter, Renee (Dick) Metcalf; stepsons, Tim (Diane Wagner) Brockmann and Michael (Chris) Brockmann; and several step-grandchildren and step-great-grandchildren.
