On November 22, Doris Marie (Knadle) Sweeney, 92, peacefully transitioned to heaven. Born on October 9, 1930, in Hillsboro, WI, Doris graduated from Hillsboro High School in 1948 and furthered her education at Beauty Culture School in Madison, WI.

Doris and Richard L. Sweeney were married on September 9, 1950, at St. Aloysius Church in Hillsboro. They had seven children who remained the center of her life. Doris was active in bowling, community service and for many years an avid Friday Bridge Club member. Also, as a caring and loving friend, Doris often assisted her older neighbors in their well-being. A great cook and baker, she made a Christmas tradition of baking many dozens of cinnamon rolls for family, friends, and neighbors.

She was preceded in death by her parents James and Evelyn (Rankins) Knadle; parents-in-law Thomas and Velma (Lyne) Sweeney; brother, James J. Knadle; and son Timothy Sweeney.

Survivors include her husband, Richard; children Patrick (Mary) Sweeney, Michael (Robin) Sweeney, Teresa (Steve) Anderson, Benjamin (Bunny) Sweeney, Daniel (Kandie) Sweeney, and Richard Sweeney II; sister-in-law Maggie Knadle; daughter-in-law Jane Sweeney; nine grandchildren; and eight great-grandchildren.

Visitation will be held at St. Aloysius Church on Saturday, December 3, from 9:00 to 11:00 a.m. followed by a funeral Mass and luncheon.

If desired, friends may make a memorial donation to St. Joseph’s Memorial Foundation.
