Our sweet, vivacious, and always full of life mom, Doloris Mary Bernadette STUHR, of El Cajon, California passed away at the age of 93, on Friday July 12, 2019, surrounded by her children and family members in her own home. Doloris was born January 27, 1926. She approached life from the very beginning, as she would say, "as one tough cookie" You knew she meant it because she would put her fists up and with a twinkle in her eye say "I fight dirty" and then with a big grin would giggle.
Our mom started her colorful life on a farm in Dayton, Ohio, and from a very young age helped her dad truck their flowers and vegetables they grew to the market one day every week. Girls weren't allowed to be in the market, so she had to dress like a boy ... she didn't mind because she had a talent for numbers and chatting with people and her dad was in on the story...much to mom's delight. She met our dad Wally at the age of 18 at a local public pool and were married June of 1944. She devoted her life to her 6 children and showered us with love. She will forever be missed by her six children that she raised so beautifully, as well as all her relatives and friends!
Mom loved to draw in black and white. There was an old dead tree that had fallen and she fell in love with. She knew exactly how to bring that tree back to life through her drawing. She also was fascinated by anything science as well. That's our beautiful, precious mom. Love you always, mom!
Doloris/mom is survived by her six children, Mike Stuhr and children Barbara, Shirley, Graceann and Joe, Tim Stuhr, wife Sue and children Paul, Tom and Janette, Kathryn Steere (Stuhr), husband Lance and son Danny Steere, John Stuhr, wife Dorothy, and children Brian and Donald, Dan Stuhr, and Susan Leonard (Stuhr) and husband Robert.
