Dolores R. “Dee” McDonald, age 66 of Kenosha, passed away on Saturday, June 23, 2018 at Froedtert South.
Born in Kenosha on May 3, 1952, Dee was the daughter of the late Casimir and Rose Mary (Fliess) Paskiewicz. She attended St. Casimir Catholic Grade School, McKinley Junior High School and graduated from Mary D. Bradford. She furthered her education at UW Parkside and Gateway Technical College to be a Registered Nurse.
In 1980 she married Michael McDonald and they were blessed with 38 years together.
Dee was employed at St. Catherine’s Hospital in 1970 and then around 2000 went to work for Kenosha Memorial Hospital until her retirement in 2016. She was kind and caring in her role as an RN and as a Nursing Supervisor.
She will be greatly missed by her husband, Michael; her children, Charles (John Powilaites) McDonald of Mt Pleasant, Andrew McDonald of Brooklyn, NY, Marie (Joel) Jacob of Kenosha and Laura McDonald of Kenosha; her grandchildren, Emmeline and Anabelle Jacob and her siblings Terence Paskiewicz, Janet Gyurina, Mary Paskiewicz and Kevin Paskiewicz along with many loving nieces and nephews.
Along with her parents, Dee was preceded in death by a sister, Anne Petersen.
Dee’s family would like to extend their thanks to the many doctors, nurses, and staff of the Froedtert South family who delivered exemplary care to Dee. They share in our loss and we honor their commitment, compassion, strength and grace.

Rena MowryI am so very sorry to hear of Dee's passing. Prayers and support goes out for the entire family. I really enjoyed our times together with girl scouts at St Therese, and the countless times we worked together on school events. Always there to lend a hand, no matter how busy she was with her own work and family schedules. She was genuine. Grounded. I admired that. Rena Mowry and the Mowry family.
