Summary
Dolores P. “Dory” Welke died on December 16, 2017, according to a Beaver Island Forum obituary relay. The notice said a later service would be held at Holy Cross Catholic Church and burial would follow at Welke Cemetery on Beaver Island; a May 2018 follow-up announced those services for May 25–26.
Evidence limits
The forum preserves obituary and service notices, not the funeral-home, church, or cemetery registers. The later notice establishes the announced arrangements but is not, by itself, proof that every listed service occurred.
