Dolores Florence (Prisinger) Weber was born on January 10, 1930, on the family farm near Milbank, SD, to Jerome and Anna (Wimmer) Prisinger. She attended school through the eighth grade at Geneseo #3 in Roberts County, SD.

On November 11, 1953, Dolores was united in marriage with Francis D. Weber. Together, they made their home on the farmstead where Francis was raised until 1961, when they purchased Dolores’s family farm. Dolores dedicated her life to being a homemaker and devoted farm wife. Over the years, she lovingly raised three children, instilling in them the values of hard work, family, and faith.

A woman of many talents and passions, Dolores was known for her exceptional cooking skills, particularly her famous fried chicken. Known for her abundant green thumb, she took immense pride in cultivating a large garden, delighting in the rhythms of nature as she harvested and canned the fruits of her labor. Her infamous spicy pickles became a staple at family gatherings.

Dolores found great joy in the company of her family, especially her grandchildren and great-grandchildren, with whom she shared countless delightful moments. Her unwavering faith as a devout Catholic guided her throughout her life, bringing comfort to those around her.

Left to cherish Dolores’s memory are her children: Marie (Dwight) Borchert of Canton, SD; Bernard (Brenda) Weber of Milbank, SD; and Rosemary Weber of Milbank, SD; five grandchildren: Jennifer (Donally) Kranz, James (Rachel) Borchert, Donald Weber, Joseph Weber, and Aaron Weber; eight great-grandchildren: Kimberly Kranz, Kristyn Kranz, Joseph Kranz, Monica Kranz, Nathaniel Borchert, Stephanie Weber, Chase Weber, and Parker Weber; two step great-grandchildren: Calvin Nelson and Caleb Nelson; along with many nieces and nephews.

Preceding her in death were her husband of 61 years, Francis Weber; her parents, Jerome and Anna Prisinger; and sisters: Janet Van Sambeek, and Rosa Weber in infancy.
