Obituary for Dorothy Ann Wielinski

Dorothy Ann Wielinski, age 90 of Holland, passed away on January 31, 2021. She was born to Simon and Martha (Jozwiak) Mroczkowski on January 5, 1931. She was a graduate of Swanton High School where she formed lifelong friendships. Until recently, Dorothy met her friends for lunch at Loma Linda’s. It was amazing because they all still looked the same (in their hearts). Shirley, Joan, Nettie, Bill and Eleanor were in Dorothy’s life even longer than her children.

She married the love of her life, Larry Wielinski on September 26, 1953 and together they raised 6 children. Dorothy and Larry loved spending time at their time share in Key West, FL for many years. Dorothy enjoyed sewing, needle point, bird watching, reading, crossword puzzles and especially her piano. She also had fun going to the casino now and then.

Dorothy was preceded in death by her loving husband, Larry Wielinski; parents, Simon and Martha (Jozwiak) Mroczkowski and brothers, Richard, Jim and Tom. She is survived by her children, Loraine (Tom) Dowley, of Hamilton, MA, Larry (Janice) Wielinski of Hobe Sound, FL, Matt (Diana) Wielinski of Dunedin, FL, Julie (Jeff) Nye of Toledo, OH, Diane (Tim) Stark of Whitehouse, OH and Patricia (Mike) Placzkiewicz of Maumee, OH; grandchildren, Tom “T.J.” and Kelly (Burak Yilmaz) Dowley, Stephanie Wielinski, Sara and Hanna Wielinski, Joshua Nye, Samantha (Anthony) Mason, Alex and Aaron Stark and Monica Placzkiewicz; great-grandson, Cooper Anthony Mason.
