Dorothy C. Van Drasek

July 23, 1934 — July 26, 2009

Dorothy Van Drasek, age 75, passed away suddenly at Sacred Heart Hospital in Tomahawk. Dorothy was born in Darboy on July 23, 1934, daughter of the late martin and Angeline (Van Hammond) Van Roy. On April 27, 1957, she married Leo Van Drasek. For over forty years, Dorothy worked for Chase Bank (and its predecessors) in Appleton. She and Leo enjoyed spending time at the family cottage on Crooked Lake, going to breakfast and visiting casinos with family and friends, but most precious to her was being with her grandchildren and new great-grandson.

Survivors include her husband: Leo Van Drasek of Appleton; a daughter: Vicki (Dave) VanDeHey of Kaukauna; three grandchildren: Amanda (Corey) VanDeHey-Luniak, Andy (Jordan) VanDeHey, and Abby VanDeHey; a great-grandson, Gavin VanDeHey; a brother: Bernie Van Roy of Kimberly; and a sister: Darlene Dorn of Kimberly. Dorothy was preceded in death by her parents, a sister Rose (Cal) Schnese, a sister-in-law Rita Van Roy, a brother-in-law Jim Dorn, her step-dad Bill VandeBerg, her in-laws Paul and Linda Van Drasek, and Aunt Anna.

The funeral liturgy for Dorothy will be held at 12:00 Noon on Friday, July 31, 2009 at HOLY SPIRIT PARISH, 600 E. Kimberly Avenue in Kimberly with Fr. David Beaudry officiating. Entombment will follow at Highland Memorial Park. Friends may call directly at the church on Friday morning from 10:00 AM until the hour of the service at the church. In lieu of flowers memorials may be directed to the American Heart Association.

Dorothy will be remembered by all as a woman who was always there for those who needed a kind word from her, or perhaps just a hug and a listening ear.
