Obituary Pending

Dolores Veronica Maier Roeske, aged 87, passed from this life on Tuesday, July 14, 2020 surrounded by family at the home she shared with her youngest son’s family.

Dolores was born to Wilhelm Maier and Marie Schgoer on December 1, 1932 in Wolf Point, Montana.  She was the second youngest of nine raised on her family farm when, as a high school senior, she opted to take an au pair job in town to be closer to school. She graduated high school and moved to Great Falls, Montana with her sister Mathilda (Tillie) where the sisters and their friends attended USO dances. At one dance, Dolores caught the eye of a young airman, Elmer Otto Roeske. The couple married on June 22, 1957 after a yearlong courtship. A family quickly followed with the birth of their first son in 1958. The Air Force moved the family several times over the next 10 years – Illinois to Texas to Arlington, VA during which time the couple welcomed two more sons. Of all the postings, Dolores enjoyed Texas the most, but the USAF had other plans and stationed Elmer at the Pentagon in 1967. When Elmer retired from the USAF in 1971, the couple permanently settled in Prince William County, VA and opened the Triangle Bakery.   After the couple entered full retirement, they embarked on many road trips to visit family and friends in Dallas, Texas, Chicago, Illinois, Wolf Point, Montana as well as many other excursions. When they were home, they frequented local berry picking farms, County fairs and area attractions, most times with a grandchild or two in tow.
