Delories Vosen

Delories Vosen, age 96, of Waunakee/Westport passed away at Homestead Living on Thurs., January 13, 2022. She was born on a farm in the Baraboo Bluffs near Devils Lake on September 23, 1925, to William and Emma (DuBois) Bradley. A life that began with kerosene lights, a windmill pump, and an outhouse ended with handheld computers and space tourism. Delories married Francis Vosen on June 6, 1953 and he preceded her in death on Dec. 8, 2006. Together, they raised a family of three boys and one girl on a 40-acre farm near Waunakee. Her love of gardening, flowers, knitting, sewing, and quilting kept her busy year-round, along with volunteering at St. Mary's of the Lake Catholic Church and RSVP of Dane County and babysitting for many families over the years including grandkids. When Francis passed away, a wonderful group of friends and neighbors helped fill her days. These very special friends include, JoAnne Koster, Kay Beck, Marty Timmins, Joe CaPaul, and Mary Woodburn. They took Delories to doctor appointments, grocery shopping, band concerts, parades, and fish fries.

Delories is survived by her children, Patrick (Sandy) Vosen, Kevin (Terri Shaw-Graffin) Vosen, Steven (Ann) Vosen, and Sharon (Marc) Olson; her sisters, Rosemary Bradley, Agnes (Paul) Wendland, Shirley (Edmund) Essert; her brother, Don Bradley; her grandchildren, Sarah (Matt) Shiner, Ryan (Sandrea Batiste) Vosen, Erik (Danielle Malone) Vosen, Brett (Brooke Barnhart) Vosen, Maygan (Nate Fischer) Olson, and Sydney (Dylan Grover) Olson.  She is preceded in death by her husband; parents; sister, Elizabeth; and many in-laws. The family would like to thank the wonderful staff at Homestead Living and the nurses from Agrace Hospice that helped her on her journey.
