She was united in marriage to Sylvester "Sam" Wianecki on June 20, 1945; he preceded her in death on December 9, 1984. Dorothy had a great love of plants and flowers, a true "green thumb".

She was also preceded in death by her 2 great-grandchildren: Nathan and Zoe; a brother, Robert Lipinski; a son-in-law, Larry Harris; and other relatives.
A Funeral Service will be held at 11:00 am on Wednesday, October 17, 2012, at Martens-Laemmrich Funeral Home, 312 Milwaukee Street, Menasha.

My condolences to Dorothy's family. Dorothy and I went to grade school and high scool together. We lived 3 streets away from each other in Berlin, WI. We exchanged Christmas cards thru the years. We shared the same hospital room when our first child was born. I regret that we never got together more often. So I say "Never put off till tomorrow what you should do today". Sheila please call me regarding Dorothy. Alice Fay. 920-685-5953
