Obituary:
Nick, Dorothy Mae
Dorothy Mae Nick, 90, Green Bay, passed away July 14, 2009, at Unity Hospice in De Pere on the date that would have been her 64th wedding anniversary.
She was born Dorothy Sullivan on May 20, 1919, to William and Helen (McCarthy) Sullivan in Green Bay. Dorothy attended Green Bay East High School and graduated from high school in Appleton.
She married Wilfred "Willy" Nick on July 14, 1945. They raised their three children in Green Bay, and while being a mom Dorothy worked several part-time jobs, including the U.S. Postal Service and Smart Fashions in Green Bay.
In her spare time, she enjoyed working outside, reading and visiting her children.
A strong, feisty spirit and a love for life and family are qualities that Dorothy exemplified and were appreciated by those who knew her well. She was an especially avid Packer fan and attended all home games, even the coldest, until nearly her 80th birthday.
Survivors include daughters, Kathy (John) Adams, Green Bay; and Mary Nick, Madison; son, William (Carol) Nick, Sturgeon Bay; five grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren, with a ninth on the way.
Dorothy was preceded in death by her parents, husband, and sister, Eileen Hoel.
