Dolores J. Winkel Spoonmore Obituary (1934

Mrs. Dolores J. "Aunt Dodo" Winkel Spoonmore, age 90, of Madison, Indiana entered this life on March 30, 1934. She was the loving daughter of Theodore and Elizabeth Winkel. She attended the St. Michael's Catholic School and was a 1952 graduate of Madison High School. She lived her entire life in the Madison area. Dolores was born to a large family of 10 children, herself and twin being the fifth and sixth who arrived as a Good Friday surprise to her parents who had no idea that Easter would bring the baptism of their sweet twin girls. On June 10, 1968, Dolores married Robert D. "Bob" Spoonmore at the St. Michael's Church in Madison, Indiana beginning a 38 year union. This marriage brought three step-children into her life who she cared for as her own. Early in life, she worked for the Old Madison Telephone Company as an operator before later working at the Madison Bank and Trust Company where she would have a very successful career. Beginning as a secretary for the loan department, Dolores eventually became a loan officer and then continued to work her way up to the position of Assistant Vice President, before retiring after 44 years of service. As much as she loved her job, Delores had many pleasures outside of the office. She enjoyed bowling in her younger years, playing cards through out her life, and as she got older, she liked to spend time with her many nieces and nephews. She also enjoyed her toy terriers, crafting, sewing, and crocheting. She was proud to have won second prize for a pattern she created in a Country Magazine afghan contest. She was a woman of faith and life-long member of Prince of Peace Catholic Church. Dolores died on Monday, July 1, 2024, at 7:00 p.m. at Jewel Place in Madison, Indiana.
