Delores Staudt
Delores Staudt, age 88, a resident of Manitowoc, died peacefully on Sunday, September
20, 2020 at Shady Lane Nursing Care Center in Manitowoc.
Delores was born on January 8, 1932 in Two Rivers to the late Veronica Gasparick and
Chester Peronto. She graduated from Lincoln High School with the class of 1950. On February
23, 1952, Delores married Leroy Staudt in Manitowoc and they were married for 66 years, until
the time of his death in 2018.
Delores was very active throughout her life whether it was with the Monday Music Club,
Lakeshore Lutheran Chorale, Twenty Gardeners (which she held many offices), and her
numerous bridge clubs. For over 50 years she played Royal Rummy with her dear friends Elsie,
Donna, Arlene, Marilyn and Kathy, and you could hear them screaming who won the pot that
consisted of pennies!
But most important to Delores was her service to Bethany Evangelical Lutheran Church
where she served for many years as the church secretary, taught Sunday School and was a
member of the Ladies Aid. She also was a substitute at Manitowoc Lutheran High School for
over 20 years (much to the chagrin of Kathy and Bill).
Survivors include her children, Sue (Mike) Dilley, Brad Staudt, Kathy (Dean) Domenoski
and Bill (Cathy) Staudt; five grandsons, Jimmy and Tyler Domenoski, Kyle, Brock and Drew
Staudt; one beloved sister and best friend Elaine Wigen, brother-in-law and sister-in-law Gerald
and Marilyn Staudt, and sister-in-law LaVange Wilda; also other relatives and friends. Delores
was preceded in death by her husband, Leroy; her parents, Veronica Gasparick, Chester Peronto
and George Brixius; brothers-in-law Howard Wigen and Wayne Staudt; brothers-in-law and
sisters-in-law, Orin and Eleanor Clasen, Don and Doris Staudt, Ray Jr. and Marilyn Staudt,
Robert and Alice Staudt; also aunts, uncles and many cousins.
Delores adored her grandsons, and loved spending time with them. They will miss her.
