Dolores E. Winders
Dolores Eugenia (Williams) Winders, 97, passed away peacefully on Sunday Sept. 15, 2024 in Apache Junction, Arizona where she had spent her retirement years.
Dolores was born in Dubuque, Iowa on July 14, 1927. She was the youngest of seven children born to Bernard H. and Agnes C. (Fernette) Williams.
Dolores was known throughout her life for her vocal talents, singing in multiple choirs and performing as a soloist at many of the marriages of family and friends. Dolores was always eager to volunteer at her church and the children’s school and activities. Some of her favorite moments were organizing very successful Chili suppers to raise funds for the school athletics. She was very proud of her children’s accomplishments and supported them in any way she could. Dolores loved a large family picnic and welcomed all that could attend. She was also an outstanding Stanley Home Products Distributor in the Tri-state area, making friends and building lifelong relationships.
Dolores married Harold Winders on October 7th, 1950, in Dubuque, and they raised 5 children.
Dolores is survived by her 5 children, Nancy Engler, Dennis (Cynthia) Winders, Jean Winders, Michael (Mary) Winders and Karen Winders, 10 grandchildren, 20 great grandchildren, along with countless nieces and nephews that loved her. And her constant companion Barkley.
Dolores was proceeded in death by her parents, her siblings and their spouses – Louis (Louise), Lucille (John) Rokusek, Bernice (Fidelis) Blocklinger, John (Ethel) Williams, Charles (Irene) Williams, and Marie (Stanley) Rokusek, and her son-in-law, Thomas Engler.
A Mass of the Rite of Christian Burial was held at St. Georges Catholic Church in Apache Junction, followed by a private burial on Nov 7th 2024 in Polk County, IA. A Celebration of Life Mass will be held at St. Joseph the Worker Catholic Church in Dubuque on Nov 9th at 1:00 pm. Followed by a reception in the church hall.
The family request that memorials may be given to: Dominican Sisters of Sinsinawa, 585 County Road Z, Sinsinawa, WI 53824-9701, or by visiting their website www.sinsinawa.org/donate

Smoke Alarms at Home
SMOKE
ALARMS ARE A KEY PART of a home fire escape plan. When there is a fire, smoke spreads fast. Working smoke alarms give you early warning so you can get outside quickly.
SAFETY TIPS
Install smoke alarms inside and outside each bedroom and sleeping area. Install alarms on every level of the home. Install alarms in the basement.
Large homes may need extra smoke alarms.
It is best to use interconnected smoke alarms. When one smoke alarm sounds they all sound.
Test all smoke alarms at least once a month. Press the test button to be sure the alarm is working.
There are two kinds of alarms. Ionization smoke alarms are quicker to warn about flaming fires. Photoelectric alarms are quicker to warn about smoldering fires. It is best to use both types of alarms in the home.
A smoke alarm should be on the ceiling or high on a wall. Keep smoke alarms away from the kitchen to reduce false alarms. They should be at least 10 feet (3 meters) from the stove.
People who are hard-of-hearing or deaf can use special alarms. These alarms have strobe lights and bed shakers.
Replace all smoke alarms when they are 10 years old.
FACTS
A closed door may slow the spread of smoke, heat, and fire.
Smoke alarms should be installed inside every sleeping room, outside each separate sleeping area and on every level. Smoke alarms should be connected so when one sounds, they all sound. Most homes do not have this level of protection.
Roughly 3 out of 5 fire deaths happen in homes with no smoke alarms or the alarms are not working.

YOUR VOTE CAN SAVE OUR COUNTRY
The 2024 election is the most important vote of our lifetime. As a Nation, State and County we face the real threat of a growing trend toward larger government and Marxist/Socialist ideology.
The Democrat Party has become dangerously un-American. They’ve opened our borders to millions of unvetted immigrants resulting in unpunished crimes and squalor. These same individuals are given benefits that legal citizens pay for in taxes. Meanwhile, FEMA has no money to assist our citizens affected by Hurricane Helene.
The Justice Department prosecutes political opponents, spies on private citizens, and weaponized the IRS. Free speech has been replaced by “fact checkers.”
Democrat policies allowed our schools to become leftwing indoctrination centers and fall from the finest to among the most ineffective in the free world. They have allowed men to participate in women’s sports, openly encouraged the mutilation of children under the guise of “affirmative health care” and promote a radical position on abortion.
Democrats mandated disastrous job-killing Covid policies, kept us out of church but left the pot shops open, created laws that would eliminate gas powered vehicles, and funded expensive EV projects that enrich their supporters.
Perhaps worst of all, they manipulated voting procedures that led to the election of a man they knew was not mentally or physically fit to lead the most powerful nation in the world. Now non-citizens are being allowed to vote in many states.
In Iowa, Democrats voted against every law that has made our state one of the most desirable places to live in the USA.
Our local government has replaced meritocracy with “Equity, Diversity and Inclusivity.” New city departments were established to “control climate change” and “share prosperity.” Generously paid consultants have replaced common sense decisions from staff and qualified citizens.
For your future and the hopes and dreams of your children and grandchildren, don’t bypass this election.
The best option is to VOTE EARLY IN PERSON. Or request an absentee ballot - or vote in person November 5. Encourage your family, neighbors and friends to do the same.
These words from a beloved anthem are most appropriate. God Bless America land that I love.
Stand beside her and guide her athrough the night with a light from above.
