Delores “Dee” Bloch, 71, died peacefully on March 13, 2023, at her home in Woodruff, (and formerly of St. Louis Park, Minn.). Dee was born January 16, 1952, to Henry and Christine (Douvier) Bloch and grew up on a farm near Albany Minn. She attended St. Francis High School in Little Falls, Minn., then pursued a nursing career. Dee worked as an LPN and as an RN for 40 plus years at Methodist Hospital in St. Louis Park, Minn. She enjoyed jigsaw puzzles, reading, crocheting, and gardening.
In 2018, Dee moved to her retirement home in Woodruff near a lake and wooded area where she enjoyed nature and wildlife. She was an avid volunteer for Meals On Wheels and for Seasons of Life Hospice House. She was a generous donor to many charities, especially those for children and animals. Family and friends were very important to her, always remembering them in daily prayer and with personal notes on birthdays and special occasions. Dee loved to travel with family members and close friends, taking many photos of places she visited, especially of flowers and sunsets.
