Dolores sang in church choirs directed by her hus- band Donald Strohbeen, a professional musician and longtime high school band director. She sang for her church family at the First Baptist Church in Baraboo, now Walnut Hill.

For years, Dolores, toting a portable karaoke machine and a case of accompaniment tapes, inspired the residents of Je erson Meadows retire- ment home in Baraboo with her music. Even as the amyloid tan- gles and plagues eclipsed her brain, Dolores held on to the lyrics of a few Christ- mas carols and a bit of Bing Crosby. She might dream of a or you a Merry Christ- in April or in June. And she meant it. Dolores was born Feb.

10, 1931, on a couch in the living room of her home in New Richmond. Her fa- ther was Herbert Baum, a foreman at Doughboy In- dustries, and her mother was Margaret Peters Baum, a writer and homemaker. Dolores graduated from New Richmond High School as the salutatorian of her class. She received a full- ride scholarship at Wis- consin State College, Mil- waukee, where she planned to study journalism. She was homesick her rst se- mester, and she missed her boyfriend Donald.

She wrote home to her mother: just feel like doing anything right now. I keep thinking of Donnie. It gets worse all the Dolores eloped with the curly-haired, trum- pet-playing Donnie on Aug. 18, 1950. The practi- cal 19-year-old wore a new wool suit that she planned to later repurpose.

It was a hot day and a long drive across the Iowa state line. Sweat ensued but love was served. Donald graduated from the University of Wiscon- sin-Eau Claire, and taught music in public schools across Wisconsin. The couple moved to Almond, Oxford, White Lake and Phillips.

Dolores was proud of her children and grandchil- education, careers, and relationships. She re- corded her thoughts about family, the resort business and her relationship with God in dozens of hand- written journals until 2010, when she was no longer able to write. Dolores gave countless hours of service at Our Sav- ior Lutheran Church and Walnut Hill Bible Church in Baraboo. At both, she worked as a devoted Sunday school teacher and director of musical pro- grams. She adopted chil- dren in developing nations through a relief organiza- tion and was a faithful cor- respondent with each child and a generous giver of gifts.

family has been saying good-bye to her for many years as dementia stealthily stole her away. Her funny valentine Don- nie kept her out of trou- ble, made sure she ate her breakfasts, entertained her by watching old movies on VHS tapes, and drove her on numerous trips around Baraboo to calm her. The couple celebrated their 67th anniversary in the memory care unit on Aug. 18 at Our House Se- nior Living in Wisconsin Dells, toasting the decades with sparkling apple juice and chocolate cake. life, funny as it may as Sinatra sings.
