Dolores E. “Dodie” Wesling, 88, passed away on Tuesday, March 18, 2025. Born on March 21, 1936, to parents Marcel and Angeline (Genera) Baltzi, Dodie was beloved by so many. She would marry the love of her life, Kenneth Wesling, and they would be close together for 52 years before his passing in 2005. A dedicated piano teacher for many years, Dodie shared her love of music with countless students.
Outside of music, Dodie enjoyed the simple things in life. Spending time with friends was always treasured moments for Dodie, whether that was eating out at her favorite restaurants or having fun at the bowling alley. When she was home, Dodie found happiness in a good book or keeping her hands busy with a new knitting project. Dodie’s warm and giving nature made her a cherished presence in the lives of her family and friends.
Dodie is survived by her good friend, Jane Dunn. She is preceded in death by her parents, Marcel and Angeline Baltzi, and husband, Kenneth Wesling.
