Dorothy E. Crowe

At the age of 87, Dorothy Crowe passed away peacefully Sunday, October 13, 2019 at the Joliet Area Community Hospice Home. She was born in Hawesville, KY, and has been a Joliet resident for the past 57 years. She married the love of her life, Maxwell, in 1949. Her life was her family and she enjoyed spending as much time together as possible. If family and friends were otherwise engaged, you could find Dorothy sewing and involving herself in all things crafty.

Survived by her daughter, Patricia “Gayle” (Charles) Stimac of Shorewood; two sons, Dennis (Debbie) Crowe of Evansville, IN, and Steve (Joyce) Crowe of North Port, FL; one brother, Jimmy (the late Patricia) Wettstain of Hawesville, KY; five grandchildren, Kevin (Nora) Crowe, Stephanie (Eric) Snyder, Stacy Crowe, Jason (Nikki) Stimac, and Amy Crowe; three great-grandchildren, Anthony Crowe and Carter and Hudson Snyder.
