Delores Marie "Fieck" Grossbach born in Rochester, MN on March 15 ^th , 1941 to William and Eva Fieck. Delores died on May 6 ^th 2014 at the age of 73 in the home she shared with her daughter, Dee in Zumbrota, MN. She put up a courageous fight to achieve her life goals. Delores was baptized on September 4 ^th , 1948 and confirmed on April 3 ^rd , 1955.

Delores was better known as Dosey to her family and friends. She was a very devoted, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, wife and sister. Dosey had a way with people that is unimagined; she could make anybody smile and laughter was always something that was shared between her and her loved ones. Dosey always talked about not needing outer beauty because she had so much inner beauty and anybody that met her knew that was no stretch of the truth.

Dosey married Alan Grossbach on April 15 ^th , 1961 and made a home in Mazeppa, MN on their farm until the loss of her husband in 1980. Dosey then moved in to town with her two children, Dee Marie and William Alan where she opened a daycare which she ran for ten years. Dosey lost her son in a car accident in 1986 but would later be joined by her two grandchildren Rebecca and Jermane. Dosey later began working at Assisi Heights in Rochester, MN. She devoted all of her love to her family.

Besides her family and faith, Dosey had a passion for gambling. She always reminded her grandchildren that they and going to "the Island" were all she had to live for. Dosey also got much pleasure out of watching her Minnesota sports teams win.  Dosey was a very giving person who would take in anybody who needed a fried steak and a couch to sleep on. Delores has always been loved so deeply by her family and friends and will never be forgotten but will always be missed.
