Their marriage was blessed with six wonderful children: Stanley Walck Jr., Diane Staas, Kevin Walck, Kathy Pluck, and Brian Keith Walck.

As a mother, Dolores was a guiding light, always offering her unwavering support, wisdom, and encouragement. Her children remember her as a nurturing and devoted figure, always ready with a kind word and a comforting embrace. Her love knew no bounds, extending to her cherished grandchildren: Michelle Perri, Kevin Walck Jr., Nicole Walck, Keith Walck, Amanda Walck, and the late Joseph Walck. Dolores was a doting grandmother, delighting in the joys and accomplishments of her grandchildren, and later, her 13 great-grandchildren. Dolores's life was a rich tapestry of love and dedication. She was a beacon of compassion and kindness, always ready to lend a listening ear or a helping hand. Her gentle spirit touched the lives of everyone she met, leaving a lasting imprint on their hearts. The family of Dolores Walck will honor her memory with a private funeral ceremony, respecting her wishes for an intimate farewell surrounded by those she held dear.

In celebrating Dolores's remarkable life, we find solace in the knowledge that she is now reunited with her beloved husband, Stanley, and her dear grandson, Joseph.
