Obituary:
Conlon, Doris Edna, nee McHugh
Doris died peacefully Feb. 20, 2010, at the age of 93. She was born on April 27, 1916, in the sand hills in the Town of Maine, daughter of the late Michael and Ida (Carpenter) McHugh. On Nov. 23, 1933, she married Edward Conlon in the Town of Maine. He preceded her in death in 1987.
While she always vowed she would never farm in sand again, her fondest memories in her last years were of driving a team of horses through those very hills. She will be remembered for her salty sense of humor and her many bowling trophies. Doris was a member of the Clintonville United Methodist Church.
She will be sorely missed by her children and friends. Survived by seven daughters; Lillian (Ken) Konrad, Barbara (John) Konopacky, Pat (Ralland) Polzin, Evelyn Wolff, Shirley (Jess Brownell) Conlon, Alyce (Gary) Ritchie., Maureen (David) Freeborg; one son, Ed (Jeanne) Conlon Jr.; and a daughter-in-law, Margo Conlon. Further survived by 26 grandchildren and 56 great-grandchildren. She is further survived by nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends.
She was preceded in death by her parents and husband Edward, son Michael, grandchildren Cathy Conlon, Tom Konopacky and Barry Ritchie, also by four sisters and one brother.
The funeral service for Doris will be held on Monday, Feb. 22, 2010, at 2:30 p.m. at the Borchardt & Moder Funeral Home in Shiocton with Rev. Roberta Thompson officiating. Burial will be in Bovina Cemetery in the Town of Bovina. Friends may call directly at the funeral home on Monday from 1:30 p.m. until the time of the service.
The family would like to convey its gratitude to the staffs of Unity Hospice and Odd Fellow Nursing Home for the warmth and support they have provided. In lieu flowers, memorials to the Alzheimer Association would be appreciated.
