Delores Perronne Voss

Delores Alma (nee Perronne) Voss passed away peacefully at her home on May 27, 2023.   Delores was born in the Town of Herman on July 12, 1928 to the late Martin and Ida (Schmerling) Perronne.  She was baptized and confirmed at Trinity Lutheran Church in Howards Grove, just down the road from the family homestead.

Nelson preceded her in death on July 15, 1992.

Delores worked at Larsen Plywood and retired from Mayline Company in 1990.   She loved spending time with her family, taking bus trips, polka dancing, and playing cards.  She was a wonderful cook and baker and her guests never left the table hungry!   Her kitchen motto was “No matter where I serve my guests, they seem to like my kitchen best!”

She was preceded in death by her husband, Nelson; her parents, Martin and Ida Perronne; four brothers:  Elmer (Verona) Perronne, Edward Perronne, LeRoy Perronne, Milton Perronne; two sisters: Evelyn (Paul) Reglin and Ardelle Perronne; her godson, Jeffrey Reglin; her in-laws:  Stanley and Lillian Voss; sister and brother-in-law:  Bernetta (Lewis) Eichmann and Marlin (JoAnn) Voss.  She was also preceded in death by two nieces, six nephews, and her best friends, Arline Jost, Caroline Ney and Janet Grunewald.

The Voss family would like to thank the staff of Sharon S. Richardson Community Hospice, especially Mary Ann and Chris for their exceptional care and the comfort they provided during her last days.
