Homer, Dolores Ann
51 year resident of Lake Forest passed away peacefully at Lake Forest Hospital after a brief illness. Dolores was the daughter of Charles F. and Mary Lamich Sr. and was born in Kenosha, Wisconsin. She attended Kenosha High School and the University of Wisconsin. She married Albert Colt (Bud) Homer, also of Kenosha, in 1943. She shared 53 happy years with him until his death in 1996. Dolores and Bud travelled the world for many years as a part of Bud’s business activities. They especially loved the extended time they spent in London, England. In later years they also enjoyed their time in Naples, Florida and “at the lake” in Northern Wisconsin.
Dolores was an active member of many groups and clubs in Lake Forest over the years. She was a member of the Women’s Circle at St. Mary’s Church, Lake Forest Women’s Club, Lake Forest Garden Club, Lake Forest Book Review and bridge groups through the Infant Welfare Society, St. Mary’s and St. Patrick’s church. She loved nothing more than an afternoon spent with her friends over lunch and a game of bridge.
Dolores was preceded in death by her parents Charles and Mary Lamich, her brother Charles F. Lamich Jr., her husband Albert Colt Homer and her son Rex Colt Homer. Survivors include her daughter Sally Homer Kelly of Lake Forest, Daughter in Law Deb Jackson Homer of Jasper, GA, grandchildren Ryan Ann Kelly of Chicago, IL.
