Dolores J. Wimmer

Dolores J. Wimmer, a beloved mother, grandmother and great-grandmother passed away peacefully at the age of 97 on Monday, November 9, 2026 in her hometown of Kenosha, Wisconsin.

Dolores Jean Myers was born on February 25, 1929 in Kenosha, Wisconsin to Wendolyn and Johanna (Erickson) Myers, who preceded her in death. She was also preceded in death by her son, Frank Wimmer, her brother, Robert Myers and her sister, Mary Ellen Gallagher.

She is survived by her daughter Janine (Thomas) Secora. She was a proud grandmother to Phillip (Mary) Secora, Lynne (Daniel) Zidek, and Adam Secora. She also took delight in her great-grandchildren: Declan and Adley Secora, Nathan Zidek and Aerabella Secora. Dolores is also survived by many nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends.

Dolores started her career as a phone operator at the Wisconsin Telephone Company. After raising her family, she went on to be a production worker at AMC/Chrysler Motors in Kenosha. After retiring from the motors in 1988, she went on to become a beloved food service worker with the Kenosha Unified School District where she worked until her retirement in March, 2020.

She loved watching old black and white movies. She had every sonnet that Shakespeare wrote memorized and would quote them quite often. Her counted cross-stitch pictures are legendary and will be hanging in her family’s homes for years to come. And if you were coming for lunch, you better bring her a steak sandwich with pickles and sweet potato fries from The Spot in Kenosha!

Rest in peace mom, grandma and great-grandma! Your presence will be deeply missed yet your spirit will live on in the hearts of those who knew and loved you! Private family services will be held at a later date.
