When you think of someone who touched everyone’s life, Dorine Wolsiefer comes to mind. Dorine entered eternal life on March 12, 2017 at the age of 83. Her spirit is carried on by her four children, ten grandchildren, three great-grandchildren , four step grandchildren and her two brothers, Mark and Omer Weintraut. Dorine is preceded in death by her husband John C (Jack) Wolsiefer.
Dorine was born in 1933 in Waldron Indiana. She married Jack shortly after graduating from Waldron High School. She was in banking her entire career; starting as a teller and retiring as an executive vice president and trust officer. She was the first woman on the board of the Farmer’s National Bank, where she spent most of her career.
Dorine graduated from the American Banker’s Trust School in 1973 and the University of Indianapolis in 1978 with a degree in Accounting. She retired from banking in 2000. She continued working in the community after retirement by volunteering and being on several boards; she was a board member on the Shelby County Historical Society, Major Hospital, Red Cross, Library Foundation, Arts Alliance and her favorite organization, the Shelby Senior Services, where she was a SHIP counselor and an AARP tax preparer. Dorine instilled in her children and her grandchildren the importance of volunteering and giving back. Dorine was busier after retirement than when she worked, she was always helping someone or volunteering.
Dorine was a Eucharistic Minister at the St. Joseph Catholic Church, where you always found her on Sunday. She loved quilting, gardening, hunting (she taught all her kids to hunt and at one time was a NRA rifle instructor); she loved volunteering, her wonderful friends who shared their lives with her, but most of all, she loved her grandchildren. They were each very special to her; she’d tell you they were all her favorite. She couldn’t wait until the holidays when the entire gang came home for dinner. It was always so chaotic with 25 people in her small house, but she loved it anyway.
Dorine was an amazing lady, one that we aren’t likely to ever forget.
